Rating Kit’s entire collection

We are finally back with another ratings post! I’m sorry i can’t do these more often, they take a lot of time and energy, so I’m usually to busy to sit down and make them, now nearly a whole year has passed since i started this series!

 But thats alright, because we only have 5 more to go after this one, and hopefully i can do them more often after this. I thought about removing unessasary commentary, but alot of you said you liked it, so i kept it in.

anyway i guess lets get into it! since i go in order of the year it takes place, its kit’s turn!

Doll and meet outfits

1. original meet outfit

doll: 10/10 I love her short bob! it really helps reflect her time periods fashion trends so well!

outfit: 8/10 I don’t particually care for this outfit, but i do love how true it is to the time period and the detail that the skirt is supposed to be made of a flour sack.

2. beforever meet outfit

4/10 what the hell is this. I mean it is a subjectively cute dress, but it doesnt fit kit’s story at all! It is way to modern, but even if it is historically accurate, that type of printed fabric and decoration would be way to expensive for the kitterages to buy for an everyday dress for her.

3. original meet accesories

10/10 omg cute! i’ve said it before, and will say it again. I love historical coins!

4. beforever meet accesories

5/10 its so... empty. now there is nothing to put in her purse :(

School collection

1. school dress

9/10 again, not really my personal favorite but i do love the little... flower boquets? (not for sure what they are the pic is to blurry)

2. book bag and supplies

10/10 i love the dog binder

3. swivel chair and desk

10/10 I always love seeing how the girl’s desks have evolved and changed depending on their setting. It’s become a niche interest of mine.

4. school lunch

10/10 i love the tin lunch box with the train!

holiday collection

1. christmas dress

10/10 so festive and cute! I adore the dog pin on her collar

2. Aviator doll

10/10 I havn’t had the chance to read her books yet, but i heard she likes amelia earhart? if so, that is such an amazing interest!

3. Waffle iron

9/10 I like the little recipe cards, and the holly branches too but idk if those were actually included. My only gripe with this is that kit’s iron should have been square shaped, the round ones were a bit more expensive in the 30s.

4. typewriter set

10/10 I always have had an interest in typewriters. Like i said before, i havn;t read her books yet, who is the photo of?

Birthday collection

1. birthday dress

10/10 it looks like a green version of annie’s dress!

2. grace the dog

10/10 i’ve always wanted a dog like this

3. party treats

8/10 i don’t really like this set, but i do like the cute cake.

4. glasswear and linens

10/10 reminds me of my grandmas house, probably because she grew up when this was popular lmao

5. table and chairs

10/10 this is one of my favorite table and chair sets they have made

Summer collection

1. overalls 

10/10 hello lgbt community

2. hobo camp supplies

10/10 i’d buy this just for the binoculars tbh

2. hat and mittens

9/10 wish they came with the coat

3. photography set

10/10 i love everything about this set

bedtime collection

1. beach pajamas and slippers

10/10 aw it looks like a little sailor suit!

2. sriped nightie

8/10 I beleive this one is based on her movie? I don’t like it as much as her original pjs

3. day bed and bedding

9/10 not a fan of the green and pink combo but still like the bed overall

4. bedtime extras

10/10 omg the old timey phone!!!

5. trunk

10/10 its good as far as trunks go. Although i wonder how much it can actually hold?

extra outfits

1.  treehouse outfit

10/10 cute, but it kinda reminds me of southpark 💀

2. baseball fan outfit

10/10 i like how the also gave her an interest in baseball

3. beach outfit

9/10 cute, but the goggles have me hollaring 💀

4. school skirt set

8/10 its very pretty, but looks like something an adult would wear back then, not a kid.

5. play suit

10/10 so cute

4. summer dress

8/10 i absolutely adore this dress, but i feel like this one is a bit to expensive/girly for kit (unless mrs. kitterage made it?)

extra accessories

1. beach chair

10/10 i’ve never seen one of these chairs in real life funnily enough

2. cookstove

10/10 looks just like the one i found in my grandmas storage room

3. produce and preserves

10/10 cottagecore vibes

4. washday set

10/10 my #1 post from this year with the most notes was talking about this set

5. holiday baking set

10/10 i love baking, so seeing vintage baking stuff reminds me of looking through old cookbooks.

6. scooter

10/10 this is possibly the most iconic thing in her whol collection. even if you don’t know much about her collection, you know this.

movie outfits

1. floral dress

9/10 maybe unpopular, but i actually like this dress on her. it feels just the right amount of “kit” without being to frilly

2. treehouse

10/10 so cute

3. reporter dress

10/10 same as i said with the first one

4. reporter accessories

10/10 it fits right in with her collection

Beforever

1 reporter dress

7/10 i like it but it just feels.. off?

2. photographer outfit

0/10 what the frick frack, paddy wack, cracker jack, thumbtack is this shit??? what the hell was ag thinking? not only is it ugly as hell, but it also, again, does not fit her character or story at all. It looks like something a 5 year old wear where to easter sunday church service in 2012.

3. chicken keeping set

4/10 again with the pastels? is this supposed to fill the viod left by her old overall set? why AG, why.

4. one peice pajamas

3/10 ugly color and pattern

5. play dress

6/10 actually kinda cute. a breath of fresh air after the last 3. But still not very fitting  for her.

6. mini golf outfit

5/10 i want to like it but i don’t. like i said, I havn’t read her books, does she ever play mini golf?

7. christmas outfit

4/10 definantly christmassy, but its just a cheap copy of her old dress, but worse. also the fabric is a ripoff of addy’s dress.

8. gardening outfit

5/10 well its at least better than the last overall outfit, but thats a low bar.

Beforever accesories

1. bed and bedding

4/10 its a weird, vibrant version of her old bed. my eyes are watering

2. radio set

8/10 alright, i admit that i like this one

3. christmas stocking

9/10 this is cute. still knocked a point off just because im mad about beforever >:(

4. garden accessories

6/10 cheap knockoff version of her produce and perserves set

5. garden stand

5/10 no comment

ruthies collection

1. doll and meet outfit

10/10 love ruthie. i know that she would have rocked half the outfits in this post. (not #2 of beforever though. that should be burned)

2. meet accesories

10/10 very cute

3. play outfit

8/10 i don’t know how to feel

4. satin pjs

10/10 ruthies pjs walked so that rebecca’s pjs could run

5. christmas dress

10/10 it has a similar vibe to samantha’s christmas dress, yall know what i mean?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That’s all! As we have seen again, beforever has absolutely massacered my girls. I hope AG restores her old collection, but thats laughable considering their antics lately. I hope y’all liked this post!
