My overall rating... A++++
Kirsten was my first doll too, and I love her with all my heart! My Kirsten also has ash/light-blonde hair (unlike the newer, honey-blonde color) that is rather dry. My poor Kirsten has thin braids after the years of brushing, but she's still cute. The back of her hair is clipped close to her head between her braids. She has lovely blue eyes that are darker than my other PM, and dark blonde soft eyelashes. Her face is just so cute and is a different shape than my PM and the Mattel ones. She had pretty minimal face paint that had further worn off over the years, so I gave her a little blush and pink lips. Her eyebrows have always been light, matching her hair (not as dark as my other tan-bodied PM).
Kirsten's meet outfit is one of the best out of the historical meet outfits. It is very pretty and has lots of nice, quality pieces. Her dress is a lovely blue calico with grow stripes at the bottom, and the pattern is slightly different from the later PMs and Mattel dolls. She also comes with a striped red apron, which is a nice touch. She has eyelet trimmed pantellettes, nicer than a lot of the other dolls' panties. The WB doll's socks are a nice, thick knit sock and more realistic to me than the newer, thinner ones. The shoes are soft leather and have no hard sole at all.
I have pictures of my WB and tan-bodied PM Kirsten dolls, and a comparison chart of them to Mattel on my website (in siggy).
