Claudie’s Collection: Spring Dress
I’m expanding my Claudie’s collection myself since AG hasn’t released anything for her since November (despite the fact that it’s Black History Month and Claudie is literally a black historical character >:( ).
I did the embroidery by hand, and tried to make it look close to the dress in the middle.
I later cursed the fact that I made the conscious choice not to topstitch the pleats on her bodice.

@amcangrl on Instagram has a video showing Claudie's new additions to her collection. It's a whole lot more than just a dress and a coat!

♡︎ Claudie Wells Appreciation Day! ♡︎
Hello, everybody! Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple of months! Today on AGIG is Claudie Appreciation Day! Started by user superfundolls, today is a day to appreciate your Claudie doll in hopes that American Girl will promote her more! It really is a shame that she came out not even a month before those 25 new truly me dolls! :(
In honor of today’s event, here are four of my favorite photos of Iridessa— my Claudie doll!
Let’s hope AG is able to promote this gorgeous doll more often in the future, as she is supposed to be getting more items at the end of this month! Also, I really hope they make more dolls with her ADORABLE face mold.💗💗

Claudie's polka dot dress
Blue Polka Dot Print Dress, circa 1920, Wisconsin Historical Society
Funny story about this dress ... when Claudie was first announced I saved up a bunch of images that I suspected American Girl would use for items in her collection. Turns out I was right about this dress, too!
Image is from the back cover of her second book, Adventures with Claudie.

Welcome to my doll family, Miss Claudie Wells!
Both of Claudie's books, by Brit Bennett, are well-written and cover important history. I did not know about The Great Migration and the dangers that Black people faced throughout the South, especially before the Civil Rights movement, when I was in elementary school. I can understand it not feeling comfortable or fun to address this history, and I wish this history was not reality. But given that it is, we all have an obligation to confront it. The introduction through these books is appropriate for young readers, and they won't reach their teens or adulthood completely unaware.
I've also loved The Vanishing Half and The Mothers, novels for adults by Brit Bennett.
Claudie is a beautiful doll, and I look forward to making clothes for her and setting up scenes for her.
Yay americangirlbrand at its best.
