First Impression: Ack! Those pants are hideous! For Bitty: It's a shame the pants are so bad, the sweater and shoes are wonderful. Perfect for fall, lots of detail, fit well. Grade: B- For Big Girls: Ditto In Conclusion: If you can get this for a good price, the sweater and shoes are worth it...just don't look at the pants.

First Impression: These shoes are garbage! For Bitty: OK, we established the shoes are horrid, cheap plastic, ill fitting . The suit and towel are nice and age appropriate. Reminds me of set from Gymboree. Grade: B For Big Girls: The shoes actually fit better, but are still cheapy. Suit fits fine, but pattern a bit young. Grade: B- In Conclusion: This set is probably the best swimsuit for bitty, but it's sad that AG didn't add the detail on the shoes and 3 flowers intead of just 1, so it looked the book...that (and better quality of the shoes) would have made this spectacular.

First Impression: The bunny slippers are better than previous ones. For Bitty: The robe is very plush and soft, slippers are beyond cute. Nightgown is cute, but the material is truly horrid. I almost bought this in little girl size for my daughter, so glad I did not. It's polyester and itchy and just weird feeling....but then again dolls can't feel. Grade: A- For Big Girls: Nightgown can be a baby doll, but robe does not work with a lot of hair. Grade: C In Conclusion: might be a bit overpriced for what you get, get it on sale.

First impression: Lots of stuff! For Bitty: Very age appropriate. Things yo would actually see on a baby. The jumper and turtleneck are nice, but I love the knit outfit. The knit is nice and soft. The shoes are pain, they are hard to get on, but as they are knit, the may loosen up. Grade: A- For Big Girls: Knit is not appropriate, jumper and turtleneck can work, but a bit young. Shrug and cap can look a bit like a hoodie. Grade: C In conclusion: A lot of nice pieces for Bitty, wouldn't get it for the big girls on their own, but they can share if they have a little bitty sister.

First Impression: Love it! But mules? Headband? For Bitty: This is just perfect for summer wedding. Its too bad they made the satin shoes mules. Who wold put mules on a baby? The headband is nice, but again on a baby? Grade: B+ For Big Girls: Simply lovely. The headband and shoes no longer an issue, I can't point to even 1 tiny thing wrong. Grade: A+ In conclusion: Love it. Better for big girls, but either way a winner and a favorite of mine

First Impression: Darling, but black already looks faded...not a rich black. For Bitty: Oh, my! These leggings are a pain! I had a hard time with them, can't imagine a child trying to do these. The shoes are hard to get on as well, not a fan of the knit shoes.The hat doesn't seem to want to sit right.... and yet, once on it is charming. Grade: B For Big Girls: top of sweater is a bit wide, leggings go on much easier. Probably a bit too young for a 9 year old. Grade: B- In conclusion: Probably more appealing to little ones, but they will need help with it.

First Impression: Shirt looks used, guess it's suppose to be 'rustic'? For Bitty: Not a big fan of the pants for a baby. It's like IRL, when you think the jeans look 'cute', but then you barely use them because the don't fit right and are not comfy for the baby. Scarf does not flatter her face. Shoes, do not like the fake holes with no laces, would have looked cuter without the 'eyelets' Grade: C- For Big Girls: As much as I don't like this for Bitty, I love it for the bigger girls. Some how the shirt is charming, shabby chic, if you will. Wear as on bitty it just looked worn. Pants are adorable, since they are now appropriate. Scarf looks better with hair. Grade: B+ In Conclusion: Would get it for big girls, but would pass for bitty, unless you can get it for a great price.

These are such a darling accessories. I agree, they just see to 'complete' the collection. I like bitty baby, but these like such a more realistic toy for a baby.

Now we have ONB twins! Here is Billy: Betsy and Billy: Betsy isn't so sure, she likes sharing her new room
one of Betsy alone ETA: I changed the bow on Betsy's OBN sleeper to pink and gave her pink socks and Billy Blue socks, so it's easy to tell them apart

It is nice, but other than having the booties, I have to say a like BB version better. The BB version has a nice blue detail on the edge of the sleeves and hat. ONB on the left, BB on the right:

A very true to life sleeper I thought, I bought mine preloved and the lace was down right yellow. I decided to risk it and washed it. I used oxy clean spray prewash on the lace, washed it in warm with detergent and clorox2 and it came out wonderful. Grade: A ETA: The one flaw I would say is the sleeper opens too much at top. I just added a hook and eye and it stays shut and looks much better. Also, I switched out the blue bow for a pink one for a girl and I like the contrast. with hook and eye: with pink bow and hook and eye

I love it, but also would add it is the only item I thought was exactly like the BB one. Grade: A

I like the true gingham so much more than the BB 'plaid'. The material is more like oilskin and a real diaper bag than later versions, it is also slightly larger. ONB on left, BB on right Powder/lotion that comes with diaper bag. Here is one they learned on. ONB is just decals, BB they actually silk screened. Grade: D

Just have to say, we got ours today and I did wash it, I even used oxy clean spray on the lace, since it was beginning to yellow. It came out amazing.
Grade: A

Our preloved, or new baby arrived today, and I agree with the others; her body is much more soft and flexible than even the very early BB I have. I love that her hands face up and def. better hair. Grade: A
