With yesterday's announcement of American Girl potentially bringing back the older, pre-BeForever meet outfits, I realized that there might be some AGDN readers out there that don't remember what the old meet outfits looked like because they were young (or not even alive) when the meet outfits switched in 2014. Don't worry, guys ... I'm here to catch you up to speed! Here's all the pre-BeForever meet outfits for the characters that are still available now!
Kaya was one of 2 characters (the other being Caroline, who was retired in 2015) to not have a changed meet outfit for BeForever. However, her face mold changed a bit during the change:
Josefina's meet outfit was very similar to her post-2014 one, just with a darker-colored skirt.
Addy's meet outfit had the biggest change so far - it was a pink, long-sleeve dress instead of a blue, short-sleeve one.
Samantha's meet outfit was also very different - it was black and white instead of pink.
Rebecca's meet outfit was maroon instead of purple.
Lastly, Julie's meet outfit was a long-sleeve shirt and turtleneck instead of a tank top:
I got Julie the year before the BeForever switch! I have her whole outfit, but cannot find one of the original shoes...😭
I’m an oooold American Girl collector, and I just wanted to clarify that Samantha’s original meet outfit is not black and white. It’s hard to tell from photos, but the checks are actually dark brown and burgundy. The belt is also burgundy, which matches her hat and all the old boxes. Love this site, by the way!
Guys, guys, guys!!! I’m so excited, I can’t contain myself!!!! This has absolutely nothing to do with anyone other than me, but I know you will all understand my excitement when I share that my parents just agreed to give me Claudie for Christmas and to go ahead and order her now, in case the revamp of the historical line changes anything about her!!! I know it probably won’t, but this way, I can be sure and look forward all year to the beautiful doll I will receive!!!
Addy's new meet outfit is adorable! but the old one might attract the target audience better because it's pink and lots of little girls love pink.
the old ones were so much better! i love addy's and josefina's! (although i love beckie's beforever meet a little more since purple's one of my favorites) it'll be interesting to see these with the girls that came after the change! :D
