234. The Case of the knobblier knees.

In a recent release American Girl wowed us with this cute as little outfit, Kit's Play Dress. 

Kitten Poteau was particularly pleased

But oh from this level it showed more than just knees!

Let's look into this matter. 
I had thought from the stock picture the dress fell just above knee, and the socks just below. From an angle looking down it's no problem but straight on there is a good inch clearance between the hem and where I hoped the dress fell. 
Maybe like this

Hmmm, what?

Oh, Kitten is taller in torsoe than Llewellyn       
  There you go mystery solved. I have a tall Kit. 

Kitten's body tag is smaller and has 2006 on it. Llewellyn has two but no year. Definitely different bodies. 

Welcome to the slightly stockier clan. Miriam (#30) on the left is my tallest doll. She has a body tag like Kitten's. Zara (#4) in the middle has no tag at all, if her undies are her original she is a 2000-2002 model, she has the widest cloth body of my girls.

  1. 1930s dresses for girls could be what we would consider extremely short. Think Shirley Temple. Although I don't know if a girl Kit's age, nine to ten years old, would still be wearing dresses that short.
