Meet Outfit

Ivydollfull — Ivy doll with Good Luck, Ivy.

Ivy's meet outfit and accessories reflects the fashions of the era--cowl neck shirts, bright colors, calf boots, and denim.

Shirt

Colorful diamond print long sleeved knit shirt with a loose cowl neckline. Velcros up the back.

Pants

Green twill pants with contrast yellow stitching. Velcros at the waistband. Ivy comes with plastic wrapped around her legs to prevent leg staining from her pants while in her box.

Panties

Chartreuse panties with a rainbow on the front.

Earrings

Removable gold-colored plastic stud earrings.

Meet Accessories

Beret

Soft raspberry-colored beret.

Denim purse

Denim purse designed to look like it was made from old jeans. Has patches and a ribbon strap.

Coin

A replica of a Chinese coin.

Trivia

Ivy was the first Asian character from the Historical Characters line, but not the first East Asian character to have her own doll; Chou Spring Pearl (of the Girls of Many Lands line) and Jess McConnell (of the Girls of the Year line) preceded her.
Ivy's hair is long at the start of Julie's series (at least waist length) and is cut short in Happy New Year, Julie!; American Girl gave the doll shoulder-length hair.
Ivy has the smallest collection of any Best Friend with only two outfits.
