[edit] Kit Doll

• Face Mold: Classic Mold

• Eyes: Dark Blue

[edit] Meet Outfit

Kit's meet outfit reflects the fashion ideals of her time period. The combination of twinset sweaters and skirt allow versatility and thus more wear out of clothes. The skirt is intended to simulate feedsack print, showing how things were recycled during the 1930s; however, Kit wears this outfit before her family starts having financial troubles.

[edit] Sweater Set

Lavender knit sweater set of blouse and sweater. The blouse is a short-sleeved crew-neck style with snaps in the back rather than velcro. The cardigan, also crew-neck style, is long-sleeved with working buttons on the front.

[edit] Skirt

Ivory Skirt with a green, purple, and orchid floral print. It is pleated symmetrically with a flat panel in front. It closes on the side with a hook-and-eye and zipper.

[edit] Bloomers

White cotton bloomer-style underpants with elastic around the legs to make them puffy. Kit's underpants are similar to Samantha's, Molly's, and Emily's; however, they do not have a ruffle like Samantha's and Nellie's.

[edit] Sandals

Ivory colored canvas t-strap sandals. Originally with functional buckles, they now have no-snag Velcro.
