MACARONI TOYS: AMERICAN GIRL HOLIDAY FUN

A Review of the American Girl Doll and The Purple Taffeta Dress Set Available For Dolls and Girls

Have you started thinking about Chistmas and Hanukah gifts this year for your child? Well American Girl has some really great gifts this holiday season and I got the chance to check out their best selling My American Girl Doll and Purple Taffeta Doll Dress Set that is perfect for the holidays.

We are huge American Girl fans in my house, I have three girls, age 1, 5 and 7 and they all LOVE dolls and no one makes a more popular doll than American Girl does. All the kids really loved playing with the 18” doll dressed in the True Spirit Outfit: a pink tee with tone-on-tone print, a flared skirt with a double-ribbon belt, pink underwear, and tall boots, that I was sent to check out with the kids.

I found the doll really well made, I loved how nice her hair felt and how easy she was to dress and undress in her new outfit, the Purple Party Outfit plus Charm Set for dolls. My 5-year-old who is CRAZY over the color purple could not wait to get her doll undressed and into her Purple outfit, in fact she named the doll "Purpley". 

This taffeta party dress set comes in a beautiful American Girl box and the dress is just beautiful. It features black piping details, tucks above the waist, and a full skirt trimmed with a velveteen bow. We also loved playing with the dolls hair and adding the satin headband adorned with a triple-layered bow, to her hair. The set also comes with opaque black tights and patent purple shoes for the finishing touch and a “Loyal” rectangle charm.

If your child would like to match her doll, there is even a Purple Party Dress for Girls for ages 3-7 or the Purple Party Dress for ages 6-16 that is available from American Girl that she can wear during the holidays. Plus if your daughter wants the Headband, it is also available from American Girl.

To get more information and to purchase a My American Girl Doll, a doll dress set and/or a matching dress and headband for your child visit www.americangirl.com, or the American Girl store in Los Angeles.
