Here in Badger's Wood we have a plan to eventually get Kit and probably Ruthie for our "little" doll family.
However, have you noticed Kit's clothing line from American Girl? Orange. Pink. Yellow. Lime Green. Baby Blue. Weird color combinations. Big flowers everywhere. Strange, ugly fabric choices. That is more than half of her wardrobe.
Mind you, I did not live in the 1930s and the clothing is probably accurate to the time. But for some reason I cannot warm up to her meet outfit, her scooter outfit, her school outfit, her yellow floral dress or her outside play outfit. Her feed sack dress is about 50% like 50% dislike. And Ruthie's meet dress is just hideous in my opinion. Out of the 16 or so Kit and Ruthie outfits currently available from AG - I would buy/own 5 of them.
But where do you find simple dresses appropriate for Kit's wardrobe? She certainly would not be able to afford all of these fancy Ruthie dresses Penny has bought from Keepers!
Luckily, Terristouch had something to fit the bill. Simple design. Lovely fabric choice. Wonderful details. Perfect lines. And it looks like it came right out of the 1930s. Jess was very pleased she got to model this fantastic dress.
