Almost 150 local models will present the fashions, while lively commentary and music will help create a memorable experience for girls, their dolls, and special guests.

Other featured fashions include American Girl’s line of hip, casual wear, along with its high-tech and lifestyle products, which reflect the many interests of today’s contemporary girls. And finally, for the littlest American Girl fans, models will showcase sweet dress-like-your-doll outfits from Bitty Baby and frilly, feminine pajamas from Angelina Ballerina. The American Girl Fashion Show includes a meal and refreshments, party favors, and door prizes, along with special souvenirs and chances to win dolls and accessories from the various American Girl brands.
