First up is this dress! I like most of the dress, including the removal of sparkles (not every girl wants to look like... whatever.) that I'm sure AG wanted to add. The cream is MUCH more mature, yet I think it would've looked better on a doll with dark hair and skin. The one thing I dislike is the huge flower on the top. Imagine that translated into a real dress... the shoes are cute, though, and look like ballet shoes. And you already know how much I dislike barrettes...
Actually, I quite like the dress. The flower and barrette keeps it from being too bland and boring. A pop of color looks great on everyone, although I do agree with Rachel about how the doll's hair seems to fade in this dress. Dark-haired girls would look a lot better on anyone. I am not sure I like the low waistline. A higher one would be more body-flattering and mature.
When I first saw this dress, my very first thought was "wow, AG sure is into barrettes this season!" And that is NOT cool with me. At all. I don't even think it's a trend, except on five-year olds. But the dress is cute. I love plaid, and it's in a cool, vintage-y shape while still having bright colors to appeal to younger kids, too. And the shoes are ADORBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it's not the most fashion-forward outfit ever, but it's fun, and I like it.
I'm sorry to say I disagree. Sure, it's cute for younger kids, but what about older AG fans, who are teens, or even adults? This won't satisfy them. I think that this release was mostly for the littles, and I don't like the majority of them. AG needs to give older fans something. PLEASE?
Thanks for reading, more coming soon! (And sorry that McKenna was being such a snotface in that last bit...) RACHEL!!!!!!! Uh, gotta go!
Thnx 4 reading,
