My birthday is coming up next week! I'm going to be turning 17, so I figured I'd make a list of all the Truly Me birthday outfits from over the years.
The first one was literally called "Birthday Outfit" and was released in 1998. It was retired in 1999 and cost $22. This outfit was also called the "Lawn Party Outfit".
The next birthday outfit wasn't until 2003, the "Birthday Party Outfit". It was retired in 2005 and cost $22.
In 2005, the Birthday Party Outfit was replaced by the Birthday Girl Dress. It was renamed in 2006 as the Birthday Girl Outfit and retired in 2007. It cost $22.
The line went without a birthday outfit until the Happy Birthday Outfit was released in 2014 and retired in 2015. This outfit cost $24.
Finally, in honor of American Girl's 35th anniversary, the American Girl Take The Cake Birthday Outfit was released in 2021 and is still available. This outfit costs $38.
Happy early birthday Sydney!! Mine is next week as well!
I have the purple fruit dress with the jelly shoes! Did you guys know that they used to have catalogues just for AG girl's clothes called American Girl GEAR? For me the Spring 1998 issue is iconic (and oddly it's the only AG catalogue I still have from when I was younger). The girl on the cover is wearing one of the "fresh fruit" outfits from the collection. There were all these mix and match outfits and accessories too!
You probably can't see, but the name written on the banana is Lindsey! Somebody at AG liked that name a few years before the first GOTY came out!
Happy early birthday
The first two birthday outfits are adorable!
My favorites are the last two
