This outfit is worn by Kirsten in the book Meet Kirsten. Released in 1986 and retired with archival in 2010. Later sold with 35th Anniversary Edition Kirsten, released and retired in 2021.
Kirsten comes in a blue calico dress—her first real American dress. It has a “grow stripe” at the bottom that her mother let out as she grew taller. She wears the red and white apron she brought from Sweden with a pocket to hold her treasures. Her brown-striped stockings are covered by fancy pantalettes. Girls took pride in keeping pantalettes snowy white—a hard thing to do in muddy fields and cabins on the prairie. Soft brown lace up boots complete her outfit.
I have the PM version. It has held up well, except the little velcro pieces around the wrists have just about stopped sticking.
