African Dance Outfit of Today (retired)

I ,too ,am very confused by the placement of this outfit with the historical section but I guess because it is associated with Addy , it may be easier to find if placed in her section. The outfit is clearly not historical nor is it authentically African but I will let AG off the hook for this one since they did name the outfit African Dance Outfit of Today. Emphasis on Dance ( the leotard and the jazz fringe) and Today (Addy clearly would not have worn this in the 1800's). With all that said, it is a very cute outfit and I purchased it because of it's uniqueness. The set comes complete with a black leotard; a print skirt that ties on the side; a matching headband; a gold cuff bracelet; a cowrie shell choker and anklet for the doll and a matching one for the girl. My only disappointment aside from it not being historically/ethnically correct, is that the cowrie shells are plastic and it would have been nice if AG could have used real shells. However, they are pretty decent replicas, having texture and shading making them look real. I rate it an A-
