Kaya's Adorned Deerskin Dress was introduced in 2002. It was later sold as Kaya's Deerskin Outfit, and it retired in 2018. This outfit is worn by Kaya in some of her books.
Kaya saves this deerskin dress for special occasions. It’s trimmed with a row of dyed porcupine quills, plus pretty trade beads and elk’s teeth. The better the hunters in a girl’s family, the more teeth she would have on her dress. Kaya’s dress comes with matching moccasins and a woven belt.
Grade: A
Includes: Dress, moccassins, and belt.
This dress is lovely. The paler brown of the leather suits Kaya
much better than the yellow-brown of her Meet dress. The details are very nice:
The shoulder has three rows of "porcupine quills" in red, white and blue. There are long fringes on the front of the dress that hold pairs of "elk teeth" and trade beads in red and blue. There are also teeth and beads on the skirt of the dress, hung singly instead of in pairs. The belt is a woven design mounted on brown webbing and closing with velcro.
The moccasins are the same as her Meet outfit, maybe a little nicer.
My biggest problem with this dress is the belt. It is very tight, even after I played around with the fringe on the sides of the dress. Poor Kaya is squished. Also, I don't like that it was mounted on webbing; I would have preferred just the wove design. Also, like most AG outfits, the detail on the collar doesn't go all the way around.
However, this dress is a "must" for Kaya!
