First off, please allow me to apologize. I have not been able to post near as much as I would like this year. This semester's classes have caught me in a whirlwind of work and studying, and I have not had much free time to post. Thank you all for your patience with me! ^_^
Many of us were looking forward to the release of the Girl of the Year 2016 Lea Clark's white, fancy, embroidered dress that we saw leak last year, and were disappointed it was not part of her January 1st, debut. My current hunch is it will be released as part of the mid year GOTY release (June-July) when her movie comes out.
Despite the wait, we've seen the outfit appear on eBay a few more times, now paired with what appears to be the matching shoes and headband. The lovely Lynda kindly took several photos of the complete ensemble modeled on her Lea doll and sent them to us to share here. :)

We've seen the dress before, but it seems like it will now come with a beaded headband. This beaded headband can also be used as a necklace, depending on your preference (though I don't think that is AG's intention).
Here are looks with it as a headband.
The beads are variations of light blue, and green-yellows to match the dress.
It seems to be 3 lines of plastic beads, strung on elastic, and connected in the back with with a larger elastic band.
And this is the headband worn as a necklace.
Here is a photo of the elastic band in the back.
It works well as a necklace since the larger, white elastic piece is hidden. However, I personally would probably prefer for it to be a headband, since the dress is already so decorated with that lovely embroidery.
The dress will come with a pair of gold sandals.
There is a tiny butterfly decoration with a small, plastic rhinestone.
GIANT EGO TAG
It closes in the back with velcro.
Overall, I think it's a simple but cute design, though I think it may be a little too cutesy for the style of the dress for my taste.

what are thooooooooooooooooooooooose
ReplyDeleteDress, shoes, & headband
DeleteAre you an stacyplays fan too? She said what are thoooooosee in an episode of mine craft story mode.
DeleteI was so excited for this dress back when it was firsr leaked now that I look at it on lea it seems to short (nothing to do with modesty) I had just pictured it in my mind longer kinda like julie birthday dress. I haven't purchased lea yet and I still plan to, I just wish this beautiful dress was a little longer and flowy like.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's not, if it were longer I would probably despise it and it would wreck my dream of getting Lea a (beautiful short fashionable, not long pioneerish unfashionable) dress.
Delete-Lea
I see what you mean. I think the shorter length is more reflective of perhaps the warmer Brazilian climate, but I too would prefer if it was longer and more flowy. I'm a sucker for fancy ballgowns even if they're not realistic. XD
DeleteI never thought of the climate being a factor..I think I just need to see her in person with it on and play with it. It's definitely my favorite piece of clothing in her collection. She forsure needs a bracelet with this though!!
DeleteI love it on Lea! I think the headband looks kind of awkward, but I like it as a necklace.
ReplyDeleteI prefer it without the headband/necklace altogether. :D
DeleteThank you for posting the outfit! I really love the dress, belt and shoes. The beads look awkward to me as a headband (ouch!) but agree that the lovely embroidery is overwhelmed by it as a necklace. I like it worn as a necklace, but with a different outfit.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea to use it with a different outfit! I am not a of it with the outfit as a headband or a necklace, but I can see it looking good when paired with other clothes. :)
DeleteOh yeah, that's cute.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteLove the dress and belt, don't like the headband. The colors seem too bright or something, it just doesn't seem to go with the outfit even thought the colors technically match. Don't like it as a necklace either, too busy! The shoes are cute but I would prefer them without the little butterfly and gemstone. Just plain gold straps would be nice.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree that the headband is kind of random. I think it might be nice with other of Lea's outfits, but not this one.
DeleteI need this! xD But the headband/necklace is kind of random (as I mentioned in a reply to ES Dolls) but overall VERY cute! :-)
Delete~Cosmic Collector
I agree, I'm not a fan of the headband paired with this outfit, even as a necklace, though it could be cute with another outfit. The dress itself seems lovely enough without it. :)
DeleteLea looks stunning in this outfit!
ReplyDeleteI agree! It's my favorite outfit of her's!
DeleteYay yay yay yay!! Another post! Anyway, in think this dress is really cute, especially on lea. And I'm also having a bit of trouble deciding what doll to get (if I succeed in the relative convincing thing.) Do you think I should get lea, #61, or #55? The reason I'm not sure about lea is that I fall in love with every GOTY that comes around, and then eventually get over it. So yeah. Thanks!
ReplyDelete-Nova ♡
If I had to choose, I would get Lea, as she won't be here as long as #55 or #61. At least if you get Lea this year you can always get the other dolls next year! :-)
DeleteOkay, thank you! I will consider lea more seriously now that I think about it. You are right! But I still need to make up, my mind completely, which may take I while. Oh well. XD
Delete-Nova ♡
Yeah, I know the difficulty of choosing dolls! xD I went through the same thing last year when deciding if I should get Grace, or, well, about 7 other different dolls! But I eventually decided on Grace and was not disappointed! What I did to decide was as I was walking home from school, I thought to myself "What doll do most relate to? What doll do I feel like I can imagine seeing myself with?" And yeah, I sound kinda crazy. But it does work!
Delete(By the way I am the person who suggested Lea)
Thank you so much! I really can see myself with lea. And no, you do not sound crazy. I definitely understand! Thanks so much for your help! Now, how to convince my aunt to let me get a doll...hmmm... just kidding! Or not! :D
Delete-Nova ♡
But I can see myself with #61 as well....oh boy. War between the dollies starts now!
Delete:D
-Nova ♡
I LOVE #61 she is one of my favorite dolls and very photogenic! I named mine Lilly!
Delete-Lea
LOL Lea and Lilly :)
Great! I need a photogenic doll, I am a doll photographer. Thanks for your help!
Delete-Nova ♡
Congrats on your new doll! I hope you enjoy her. :)
DeleteI sure will. :) I think I might name her Briar :)
Delete-Nova ♡
A lot of people like 55. Just saying. She looks like she is very photogenic.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have gotten mixed reviews on her, mostly about her hair. If I get her, hopefully, I'll be able to take care of her hair properly. And yes, I do agree that #55 looks very photogenic (which is great, because I am a doll photographer. Thanks for your help!
Delete-Nova ♡
NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME NOW OR JUST KILL ME!!!!!
ReplyDelete-Lea
This outfit seems well worth the price it will be! I love the embroidery and accessories it includes.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right! I know it's price will be around the $36-$38 range, but I think it is a high quality piece. :)
Deletelove it so much more now that i see it on her
ReplyDeleteI agree! It really compliments Lea!
DeleteThis is really a gorgeous outfit. The blues and greens look so lovely on the white, and the style of the dress is beautiful, too. Lea looks stunning in it. I don't own Lea, but I just might have to snag this dress! ;)
ReplyDelete~Lizzy
Hahaha yes! This dress is my "must have" from Lea's collection. ^_^
DeleteDid anyone see the announcement this morning from American Girl and Amazon???!!! There are four live action T.V. specials coming to Amazon Prime Video soon! Two "follow the lives" of two different Beforever characters (prays for Melody Ellison and a Julie one, the real deal this time) and the other will feature a girl of the year. It didn't specifically state if it was Lea, but that's my guess considering the first one will be available this fall. The fourth special we don't know who is starring in it, but American Girl made a several year contract with Amazon, so there could be a full AG T.V. series coming next year!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! I am so excited about this and hope it'll help more girls relate to the characters!
DeleteI think for the goty Mia would be great! (goty 2008)
DeleteHi, LissieandLilly!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting even though it sounds like you are so busy :)
I am glad that this is hopefully going to be released, as I know that a lot of people wanted it. Although I'm not that keen and I have a feeling it will be pretty expensive, I am glad they are adding something more fancy, unlike her casual clothes.
:)
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and share your thoughts! Yes, I'm glad Lea will have a fancier dress for special occasions. ^_^
DeleteLISSIE! LILY! If you have instagram, or even if you don't, head over to @agdollflorida .
ReplyDeleteThere is a BREAKING NEWS! AG is releasing brand new items on February 11th! @agdollflorida has the list of items. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS, Bitty Twins are RETIRING! They are being replaced by (dun dunn duuuuunnnn) WELLIE WISHERS! Yeah! I am not very excited for that, but alas, it is going to happen and we can't do anything about it. It is happening later this year. Oh, and Lea's 3rd book is being released on February 11th too! VERY HAPPY! Thanks for reading! (P.S you will see this comment on some of your other posts.)
Oh my giraffe! I just read that, even though I don't have an instagram. I am most excited to see what the ice cream stand and spring dress look like. And it will also be interesting to see what the wellie wishers line looks like, even though I am not going to buy one. Thanks for your imformation, I appreciate it!
Delete-Nova ♡
WOW!
Delete-Lea
Yeah, its really quite cool!
Delete~Star
Thank you for sharing. :) We've known this was coming for a a while now, and have already seen a leaked item from the Wellie-Wishers line.
DeleteRe:EsDolls
DeleteYeah, I know! The bitty twins are way more popular than bitty babies!
No bitty babies are WAY WAY more popular than bitty twuns
DeleteYeah! Why American Girl?!? XD
DeleteLily, when you aren't busy, can you please do a review of #61 if you have her? Thank you. If you can't do one, that's fine, there are plenty on youtube!
ReplyDelete-Nova ♡
I'm afraid I currently don't have the time, but I hope you will be able to find a helpful one on Youtube! :)
DeleteThis is cute! I might have to get it. I really like the sandals!
ReplyDelete-Morgan
I like the butterfly motif, even if I do think it makes the sandals look a little too cutesy. :D
DeleteThe butterfly is a bit too sweet but at least it is subtle. The sandals will still work with other outfits. I love the dress, and the headband is cute though not with this dress. A simple gold or turquoise colored headband would be more suitable. Over all, I think it is lovely.
DeleteAdorable!!!!! I love it.
ReplyDeleteMe too! ^_^
DeleteThere has been an inordinate amount of spam comments on this post and enough is enough. Take rude, degrading, attention seeking, prideful, off topic comments elsewhere.

ReplyDeleteYes, I completely agree. What turned from a simple mistranslation went to hate. THANK YOU L&L!!!
DeleteThank you for saying this, Lilly. It needed to be said. :)
Delete~Lizzy
I wouldn't say hate... But yes it got ugly very fast!
DeleteHello it's me! Love the dress
ReplyDeleteI do to! I think it's beautiful!
DeleteI was really excited for this dress.... um, well I just think mabe a braclet or something else would be a bit better insted of that necklace/ headband thingy..... and I think mabe not the butterfly, but although I do kinda like the butterfly on the shoes I just thin a few modifications would do the trick! ^_^ XD
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great idea! I never thought of a bracelet, but that would definitely be a better fit for the outfit for me than the headband/necklace, and it just feels like there aren't enough AG scale bracelets. :D
DeleteYeah I feel you ;D
Deletethis dress is adorable I cannot wait to add it to my collection!!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It's my favorite outfit from her collection. :)
DeleteIf there is one thing I can get from Lea's collection, it is this lovely dress. It is so sweet. I love the embroidery. I think white looks great on all various doll skin tones. And the gold espadrilles are just too cute!! Thank you much Lillymaiden and good luck in your classes!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! ^_^ I agree, this would definitely be a must have from Lea's collection!
DeleteCute dress! My older sister (4 years) goes to medical school and all she ever does is STUDY! I feel for you! Tests are hard, good luck! At least I have another sister to play with!
ReplyDelete-Lea
I meant 4 years older! I am using a Swiss or Ukranian translator to English mistranslated! How do you say in your language? My sister goes to school in Germany? Teats there are very hard

ReplyDeleteLilly, that is the link to my new blog! I <3 this dress and I might get it!
~Rutvi
I love this dress. ^_^
Deletehi i am having trouble choosing wat ag doll to get for my b-day or to even get another ag doll bc i already have 8 i am stuck between julie or lea idk what to do so if anyone can help that would be great
ReplyDeleteHello. Here is a suggestion. How many caramel hair coloured dolls do you have? And how many blondes do you have? If you have none of either, I personally really like Lea, but if you have loads of dolls similar to her (*cough cough kanani*) Julie would be be your option. Hope this helps!
Delete~AG_Lunar
I think you should get Julie!
DeleteGet Jules (Julie) but i agree with anonymous, you got 8 dolls already
DeleteNah, I know 8 dolls is a lot, but dolls can be your best friends, ya know? But its up to you @ag fan.
Delete~AG_Lunar
I personally prefer Lea.
DeleteWhen you posting again?
ReplyDeleteAs the top of this post suggests, she is very busy with work and so forth. I wouldn't say she wants to be asked all the time when she is going to post. Although I am sure you meant no harm by just asking, and I am just trying to let you know that! :-) Thanks for reading!
Delete~AG_Lunar
I don't have a set schedule for posting, just whenever something I find interesting or I have the time to do so. :)
DeleteThank you
