Grade A:
Next to Addy’s school outfit, her work outfit is probably my favorite. It is so sweet and simple. The dress is made of an airy, light blue fabric (linen perhaps?) and has 4 non-functional buttons down the front. One negative aspect of the dress is that is wrinkles quite easily. Another negative aspect is that the dress is a little large, even on my 1993 Addy.
The apron is made out of a green and cream checked fabric (with some navy lines) that is a little heavier than the dress. The front of the apron has a tiny pocket for Addy’s clothespins. Over the last several years, there’s been some reject aprons with missing pockets. That might be something to watch out for if you’re buying the outfit second-hand. Also included in this set are 3 tiny wooden clothes pins. One down side of this set is that the clothes pins are easily lost. They’re probably about 1 3/4 of an inch.
Not only does this outfit nicely complement Addy’s coloring, it also looks quite nice on Kirsten. Also, I recently purchased a second work dress for Nellie, as it faintly resembled the dress Nellie wears in Meet Samantha.
