i appreciate the cataloging of all the white dress, but to bring this back to the original point of the post, this then is clearly a unique dress from samantha's collection that we never get to see anywhere else.

i find this particularly interesting since i believe that this makes samantha the only character whose outfit in her classic portrait is never seen elsewhere in the books or products.

is the cover of samantha’s story collection the fullest view we get of this outfit on sam? i can’t recall seeing it in any other illustrations than this portrait

my parents got my sister and I Samantha AND Nellie AND the horsey AND the Samantha American Girl Doll movie. My tiny brain was so overwhelmed with dopamine I went fucking berserk

Taken directly off the American girl website. It was too dope not to snag and share. Happy black history month.

She looks very nice in her kimono. I hope to get one for my dolls at some point. I have an off-brand Mandarin dress for my Blaire Oliveira doll (she's a Truly Me) and I have yet to put her in it.

Daisy’s grandparents bought her a beautiful kimono, so what better place to wear it than the Japanese Gardens? Isn’t she lovely 🩷

because i keep making the mistake of going into ag communities outside of tumblr, i've really been trying to reckon with the consumerism in the fandom, so here's a few reminders if you are into collecting ag items!

this is a hobby! and like all hobbies, it should be bringing you joy. if it's stressing you out, that's probably a sign that you need to step back, which is an absolutely okay thing to do

your collection is valid even if it includes replicas of items originally made by american girl

you do not have to buy items that you don't love just to reach the arbitrary goal of "completing" a collection

you should not be purchasing items that you don't like just for the sake of keeping up with american girl's newest releases

american girl has continuously been showing us that they are much more interested these days in being a luxury nostalgia brand. you do not have to engage with what the brand is currently doing or producing to be a part of the fandom or collecting community

in fact, you do not have to do a lot of research to learn that mattel is not an ethical company. i'm not going to shame anyone who does continue to purchase products from american girl, but please do not be purchasing items from this brand just from a place of consumerism. there are so many small businesses that produce items for ag dolls that you can support, and you can easily find many second-hand american girl products

you should never be spending money that you don't have on american girl

making clothes and items is valid! handmade parts of your collection are beautiful

the ultimate ag historicals lineup! (as it should be!) :D

(shoutout to @bohemian-rhapsody-in-blue, whose tags reminded me to make an updated version with courtney, claudie and isabel & nicki! and here's how the lineup looks in modern ag books)
