Gwen Doll

 * Face Mold: Classic Mold
 * Skin: Light
 * Hair: Blond, bangs
 * Originally, Gwen came with her hair pulled to the side in a white ponytail holder with two small pieces hanging in front. In February 2009, her hair was restyled to have a half ponytail near the top.


 * Eyes: Dark Brown

Meet Outfit
Gwen wears her meet outfit on the cover of Chrissa Stands Strong.

Dress
While eyelet lace sundress with embroidery on upper left of bodice and lower right hem of skirt and three clear decorative buttons. In the movie, Gwen wears a similar dress at the debut of the fourth grade social studies project. The dress can also fit dolls other than Gwen.

Shoes
Pink braided sandals. They have a clear strap to hold them on. These are similar to Jess's, except with pink braid instead of red.

Panties
Light pink panties with flower on hip.

Headband
Pink headband. The headband has significance in that when Gwen's bangs are chopped short by Tara, she uses this to hide her ruined hair. In February 2009, it was changed to be around her waist when sold(to wear as a belt.)

Book
Gwen comes with the book Friends.

Trivia

 * Gwen is quite similar in looks to Just Like You 12.
 * Gwen's very short bangs have a story behind them: Tara James, the leader of the Queen Bees, cuts off her bangs. The bangs of the Gwen doll have grown out more than the way they appeared when first cut.
 * In February, Gwen was modified slightly; she was given a new hair style and the hairband was put around her waist instead. There has been no official reason from American Girl for the change.
