This outfit is worn by Kirsten in the short story “Kirsten's Promise”. Released 2003, retired 2005.
Kirsten stays warm on her walks to and from school in her fringed shawl over a pretty dress. Tie her braids with purple hair ribbons.
This dress has it all! It's historically accurate, as we can see from the Wisconsin Historical Society museum page, it is well-made, detailed and cute. The fabric is heavy homespun of a green and purple plaid on a cream background. It's cuter in person than in catalog. It is a different style than any of her other dresses with a V bodice. The CUTEST part of the dress is the hem, which is made from a pretty calico fabric where Mama let out the grow stripe. The shawl is thick and quilted and it is a perfect dress to keep Kirsten warm. The woven purple hair ribbons are a nice addition too.
Complaint: The velcro doesn't come far enough down the back to make for easy dressing for my white-bodied Kirsten.
Grade: A
