More on Rebecca Rubin, newest American Girl Doll
Our Rebecca arrived and she is wonderful! As you can see above, we've already put her to work modeling a cute sailor outfit that we thought was perfect for her (it even includes the shoes, socks and hat!)
We also received and read the six books - here's our predictions on future products we can expect:
1. Rebecca crochets very, very well - and has a special sewing basket for it. I'm sure that will be coming
2. I thought her doll would be the nesting dolls mentioned in the first book . . . but in Rebecca to the Rescue (# 5) she visits Coney Island with her family (the day after her brother's bar mitzvah as a special treat for everyone). She isn't able to win the Kewpie Doll she wants but her brother wins it for her.
3. Fashions: The Movie Dress already out is a costume she wears in the silent movie "The Suitor" starring her cousin Max as the gardner-suitor (Bk # 4)
I certainly hope the dress on the cover of Candlelight for Rebecca comes out for Hanukkah as it really looks special and I want it!
I think the outfit on the cover of # 6, Changes for Rebecca will be another item - it's a coral color with embroidery down the front, white collar and cuffs trimmed with lace, a white hip belt and it looks like an overskirt on the sides (hard to explain, see page 67)
The only nightwear shown did NOT include the cute white outfit AG is selling us - Rebecca is wearing striped PJs (almost like Molly's!) and her cousin Ana is wearing a white nightie that looks like Josefina's!
Most of the other outfits weren't shown in great detail but a pale blue dress was shown several time so that is a possibility.
Here's another outfit we thought Rebecca would like (look for it in July at DollCloset.com) - a coat and hat, sleeveless dress underneath plus tights and black boots!

These dolls are so fabulous. Looking at getting the movie dress. http://www.ehow.com/how_5433753_american-doll-clothes.html
From Millie:
Pretty fancy! I love the hat!! I was looking forward to the Hannukah dress - but I think it looks better in the book. Maybe if I see it in person . . .
