It really depends a lot on the occasion. We have a LOT of dress like your doll stuff. Both the Pleasant Company originals, and ones made for us by excellent seamstresses. (Felicity's meet dress and spring dress, 2 AMAZING other colonial dresses (made by someone on this board [img]wink.gif[/img] ), Josefina's riding outfit complete with vest/hat, 1 other Spanish colonial dress, Kirsten's school dress, Addy's Christmas dress, a today Christmas outfit)

My dd's are 8 and 12 (soon to be 13 [img]eek.gif[/img] ). Both of them LOVE to dress like their dolls at home. In public, halloween is a great excuse, as was Colonial Williamsburg, El Rancho de las Golondrinas, and going to AG Place (although they changed in the dressing room). We occasionally have American Girl parties. The outfits go over bigtime for those. The girls will even wear the Christmas dresses to church (w/o the dolls).

I'm thinking about the Chocolate Cherry outfit for my 8yr old. I think she'd LOVE it! [img]smile.gif[/img]
