Kayla and Marisol eagerly await the beginning of the show!
Kayla and I had so much fun last Friday night attending The American Girl Fashion Show at Old Sturbridge Village. Old Sturbridge Village is a living history museum which allows visitors to experience life in New England during the years 1790 – 1840. It is the perfect place to host a historical fashion show featuring all of the beloved American Girl Dolls and their iconic outfits.
We got to see Felicity and Elizabeth serve a proper tea. Hold your pinky finger in while drinking tea, not pointing out!
Beautiful Josefina in her white camisa, hoop earrings, leather moccasins, and rebozo, or shawl…
Rebecca Rubin from New York City, 1914, in her red herringbone dress with velveteen cuffs, black stockings and two-tone boots….
Kit Kittredge and her Depression era lilac sweater set and floral skirt with white sandals…
Julie and Ivy in their 1970’s attire: peasant shirts, two tone bell bottoms, and platform shoes.
(Julie is on Kayla’s Christmas list!)
And from the time of the Civil War, Addy, in her white nightie….
And even the Bitty Babies got some stage time!
It was a really fun evening complete with a dinner, a gift bag containing paper dolls, clothes-designing templates and printed papers, and prizes, too.
The models were all local little girls who were just as excited as ever to be real models, on stage, showing off favorite dolls and outfits. We couldn’t believe how much each girl looked like the doll she was representing!
Kayla was absolutely mesmerized ~ so wonderful to experience it with her and talk about her favorite types of clothes. All so healthy and positive and modest, too! Wonderful!
There's a surprise coming for Kayla. Just wrapped it tonight. Will put it in the mail tomorrow. So glad you and Kayla got to experience these "living dolls". Blue skies from K&J
