Pleasant Company sold girl-sized historical clothing, shoes, and accessories that were almost exact replicas of the doll-sized outfits, including Kirsten’s Saint Lucia Dress. What was unique about Kirsten’s Saint Lucia Dress for girls is that it was versatile. It came with two sets of ribbons: red and iris blue.
In the fall/winter, this dress was advertised as the Saint Lucia Dress and pictured with the red ribbons and Saint Lucia Wreath for girls.
The Saint Lucia Dress description reads:
Kirsten’s Saint Lucia gown came from Sweden, tucked snugly away in Papa’s trunk. There couldn’t be a more beautiful Christmas dress for you. Tiny pin dots have been woven into crisp white cotton that’s gathered and sashed with a red satin ribbon. Dainty lace edges the collar, the hem, and the graceful gathered sleeves. When it’s time to welcome spring, just change the ribbons to ones of iris blue that also come with this dress. Then it’s perfect for Easter. 6X, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 KC600 $85

The Special Day Dress description reads:
You’ll be the center of attention in this lovely dress of pure white cotton woven with tiny white dots. Sash it above the waist with a long satin ribbon of iris blue. Matching bows accent the beautiful full sleeves. Edged at the collar, hem, and cuffs with dainty cotton lace, it’s the perfect dress for spe- cial occasions. But don’t put the dress away when Christmas comes around. Just change the sash and bows to ones of bright berry red that also come with this dress.
