Just the Facts About That Caroline Abbott Doll

From American Girl Fandom.

The Caroline Abbott doll was released in 2012 to coincide with the bicentennial of the War of 1812.  (This was the reason I started this blog.)  It was not updated in any sort of way.  It was retired in 2015, though her mini dolls are still available.

Caroline's meet outfit is  intended to reflect the higher waisted Federal fashions in the U.S..  This was one of the first eras where not only did children's fashions  progress to less restrictive designs and no longer  reflected the adult style.  They also had bifurcatedd underwear as pantalettes, as skirts had risen high enough  to show ankles, but legs were still expected to be covered.

E Bay has quite a few Caroline Abbott Dolls offered with prices between $100 and $200.  Plus, there are accessories.

You could go broke.
