Addy's Sunday Best

I recently got Addy's Sunday Best dress!

It is a very pretty dress. The purple color looks great on Addy.

It's actually a very simple dress compared to either version of her school outfit.

The dress has a square neckline, puff sleeves, ribbon trim around the skirt and voila!

One reason I wanted this dress is because I was given Addy's Special Edition mini, which also wears this dress.

And of course Addy is spoiled as regards her wardrobe!

She is very happy with this dress!

I took several different pictures of Addy at different times of the day, and it is interesting to see how they vary.

It's hard to get good lighting for pictures once winter begins.

Maryellen's Poodle Skirt

Another purchase in the recent American Girl doll clothes sale was Maryellen's poodle skirt.

This is not my favorite outfit of hers. I mainly wanted the saddle shoes. It made a lot more sense to buy an outfit just for the shoes when it cost $15 instead of $36.

Anneliese is my stand-in for Maryellen because she also has strawberry blonde hair and hazel eyes.

 It's a pretty outfit and it comes with a lot of pieces. It includes the blouse, skirt, scarf, socks and saddle shoes.

The shoes were very tight on Anneliese and pushed her socks up. I had to straighten the socks after putting the shoes on.

Anneliese's hair is too short to tie the scarf around a ponytail, and it is too small to tie it around her head.

When I tried putting the scarf around her neck, it looked as if she had no neck.

Here, by way of comparison, is Violet wearing the poodle skirt outfit I made.

I like mine better. Obviously, my applique looks a lot worse, because I was ten when I made this poodle skirt. But I like the colors better and it has sentimental value.

Now I have two poodle skirts, the girls can go to the sock hop together!

Double-Bow Dress

Ellie is modelling the Double-Bow Dress from American Girl.

I bought this dress at MCM this summer. I think it is really cute. 

Warm Winter Accessories

I bought the Warm Winter Accessories during a recent American Girl sale.

Astrid is happy to model them for us!

A Girl For All Time Nisha

A Girl For All Time Nisha is here!

A Peek at Nisha!

I am sooo busy, it's not funny at all.

However, here is a peek at Nisha in her box. Her box is so pretty!

I hadn't seen it before and I think it is lovely.

 Here is the front view.

 A rather unsuccessful close up.

The back of the box!

A Girl for All Time Bex Update

A Girl for All Time's Bex is adorable. I am excited to be able to share her final look:

The blue used on her shorts is brighter than the prototype we saw during the indiegogo campaign.

The reason for this is that this blue is meant to be more stain proof.

I liked the darker blue, but stain proof clothing is very important with high quality dolls!

Bex is very cute!

I did not order her during the indiegogo campaign because I got Elinor. I don't bond with dolls if I get more than one at a time.

However, Bex is so cute that I do hope to get her some day.

Here is a small image of the prototype with the darker blue, FYI.
