This outfit is worn by Kirsten in the books Kirsten Learns a Lesson, Kirsten’s Surprise and the short story “Kirsten and the Chippewa”. Released in 1990, retired with archival in 2009.
After the long walk home from school, Kirsten changed into her work dress to help Papa with the chores. Its apple green with stripes of plum purple and pine green. It comes with ribbons just the color of the thick cream that filled her bucket when she milked the cow.
I really like the simplicity of this dress. I've never liked her school dress much, because I find it dull, basically a red version of her meet dress (and who wears division signs? I mean really?). While that may be realistic for the time period, I like this dress soooooooo much more, though it is still relatively simple and understated.. The fabric is a really beautiful color. The stipes are also a nice contrast to the teal. They're sort of purple-y and darker teal.
The ruffles on the sleeves are real cute along with the simple colar. Ribbons, are... ribbons, though I do like the woven pattern of them.
I really like the sleeves on the dress. I also like that the collar is cream, and really stands out from the rest of the dress.
Grade: B+ for the price, though it is the dress and ONLY the dress (well, and some ribbons), which isn't much to write home about. I like accessories.
