American Girl Addy Birthday Outfit Retired Review

Addy's mother sews her a beautiful birthday dress. Snood has a special feature which was most likely sewn by Mama in story plot.

This outfit is perfect for the Civil War Period and ties in with the dresses seen in movies like Little Women.

Braids were popular so I braided Addy's hair and pinned it on top of her head with Bobby pins. 

I added holiday ribbon to her hairdo since it is featured in Addy's story that Mama takes extra ribbon to tie to the braids of Addy's hair.

Since Mama works in a dress shop it is clear that she has her pick of fancy ribbon used on rich clients in neighborhoods such as Society Hill.

Outfit came with a cream and brown jumper or pinafore with a cream shirt adorned with copper threaded rickrack. A trio of non working copper colored bottons in front and velcro in back. 

Outfit also came with a brown snood hair accessory made popular during Mary Lincoln's time in the white house. The snood has two faux yellow feathers as a reminder of the bird Sunny and freedom.

Mattel and Beforever Addy dolls have thicker hair but snood can still fit over braids comfortably.

Socks are included that are also cream and threaded nicely.
