American Girl finally has outfits for more holidays than just Christmas this year! They used to have some in the 90's, I think, but not in the Mattel-ownership era.
This is the Kwanzaa Celebration Outfit. It costs $36.
This is the Eid al-Fitr Celebration Outfit. It also costs $36.
This is the Diwali Celebration Outfit. It costs $45, the most expensive out of all the outfits.
This is the Hanukkah Celebration Outfit. It costs $36.
This is the Lunar New Year Celebration Outfit. It costs $36.
What do you think? My favorites are the Hanukkah one (I think I have to get that for Rebecca or Lindsey) and the Lunar New Year one (my Ivy doll named Katie came in her Chinese New Year dress, but I think I'd need this one for Katie too) I also like the Diwali one for Sonali, but it's expensive. The other two are cute too, but I'm unsure where they'd fit in my collection. Maybe Beth/Addy can have the Kwanzaa one and a Truly Me can have the Eid al-Fitr one.
I showed this to my friend discord and here were the reactions:
- from a hindu friend: likes the diwali outfit but wishes the bracelets were bangles. also is obsessed with the detail on the deepam
- from another friend who celebrates diwali: absolutely enraptured by the outfit, says they would've loved to see something like that as a kid
- from my jewish friend: "i find it hilarious that the chanukah outfit is so fancy. i celebrate in my pajamas"
these are the most beautiful things i've ever seen in my life
I love them all! So happy that AG is doing what is so long overdue. I plan on getting at least 3-- maybe 4. My favorite are the Eid, Kwanzaa, and Diwali outfits. Me and my daughters screamed when we saw the leaks a couple weeks ago. I work at an international school, so my students at school will finally be able to see themselves. I may get the plaid Christmas as well. I love anything plaid!
These are stunning. I would buy some, but I got tired of waiting for AG to acknowledge other cultures, so for years now I have had many cultural clothes handmade for me by friends and shops on Etsy. The only one I don't really have one similar to already is the Kwanzaa outfit which I want since many of my dolls' stories take place in Africa!
I am half indian and I liked the Diwali outfit very much. I also like how they added a lunar new year one.
