My American Girl Dolls in BLACK Outfits: Color Wheel Series

[@ladero01]

Primrose looks so good in the black outfit.

[@agtakesover]

She seems to be a favorite this week. Honestly, she's a favorite most weeks (and I get it) :)

[@swiftieinabottle]

Love the convos you're having with your daughter! ❤

[@agtakesover]

Thanks! Sometimes I'm discouraged by how much the heteronormativity and gender binary beliefs around her influence her, but I have faith that as she grows we will see the payoff of all the conversations we have in the kind of person she'll grow to be.

[@stephaniefriend9912]

Ariel is lovely. those boots are killer🖤

[@agtakesover]

Thanks - We don't often buy pieces with one specific doll in mind, but I'm 95% sure Grace bought those boots FOR Ariel.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Primrose looks so beautiful. ❤

[@agtakesover]

NO arguments here. I know you and I are BOTH huge fans of the Shimmering Silver doll :)

[@paulettepalmer4860]

Black is my favorite color to wear, too! I am so relieved to hear you are removing the black clothing soon because I have the boots that Ariel was modeling, and they stained my doll!😬 Scarlet is so cute! I don't remember her before today? 🤔I think a chain link belt would be so groovy with Julie's outfit!😎 Can't pick a fav; they're all great! Thank you for this series so far!

[@agtakesover]

Ooh, good call! a chain link belt would be the perfect accessory for that dress on Julie. I know an etsy shop I can check out for that. And thanks for the heads-up about the boots on Ariel!

[@TeresaMinsinger]

Primrose is absolutely beautiful. The gown is stunning from fairy tale blessings

[@agtakesover]

She IS. She's a fan favorite again and I honestly don't know if that's because she's just that beautiful or if my love for her is that contagious. Either way, I agree she's stunning.

[@lisbetsoda4874]

​@@agtakesover She just IS that stunning. So sophisticated. Buy they were almost all winners That is why so many of us humans wear black as well. It is pretty easy to make outfits in black. I have avoided it a bit for the dolls because I think it is refreshing to see colours on them since I don't. MAYBE navy for me, when I go wild. 😂. Ok, that was a bit of a joke - but also just a bit. Julie looks so cool in those sunglasses and a little (very) black dress. And there were so many other ones. I think your dolls are also all exquisite. So it's like when you put them in anything they just look stunning. I feel more and more tempted to make my own videos, just because I want to share mine with people. I have been diagnosed with COPD and I sit an AWFUL lot of the time. I just need to do something that makes me happy. What's holding me back is primarily that I am not that savvy with technology. That is my big hurdle. Anyways, I do love watching doll videos (and you are my favourite as you know) since it is a great escape from my own and the world's problems. 😊

[@TeresaMinsinger]

@@agtakesover maybe you can do a short in primrose with her fairy tale blessing gown ?

[@bellaboo8952]

I thought BROWN was my favorite but this video is now my favorite! You're killing me! Ariels outfit is to die for!

[@agtakesover]

Aw, yay! I'm so glad ppl are enjoying this as much as I am!

[@prbambi9934]

So many good outfits you put together for this video! I would love to have a second shimmering silver doll and customize her like you did Primrose - one day maybe.

[@agtakesover]

Thanks - it was definitely the right call to get a second one because I love looking at Elowyn exactly as she is, but it's so fun to Prim in all these different outfits.

[@lisbetsoda4874]

​@@agtakesoverI don't have a second, either and am contemplating playing with mine more. I did get one other Limited edition dolls: I got Anna. I love her so much. What I need to do is start playing with those two. It's a really hard decision, though.

[@LadyThunder910]

These outfits and the brown ones have been some of my favorites! I'm going to miss this series after the white episode drops because this has been a fun series to watch!

[@agtakesover]

Thank you so much! The good news is the other channels that joined in will keep going for a few weeks playing catch-up with the first colors I did :) I'd had it in my mind to do something like this for a while but was worried about my stamina. Can't believe a 3-month long series is coming to a close soon!

[@suzannegoodwin4308]

Yes you inspire me to dress my dolls differently😊

[@agtakesover]

I'm so glad. Thank you for taking the time to tell me.

[@lost_dollhouseag]

Ariels outfit was perfection! I will be using her as inspo for one of my own dolls! And Nora’s hair is just adorable!

[@agtakesover]

Yay, thank you! I hope to see the doll she inspires!

[@pattypowell4023]

Black is hands down my favorite!! 🖤🖤🖤 Every outfit is great and something I would dress my dolls in!! I usually don’t dress my dolls in a lot of black, (I will be more now after this) but like you I could walk into my closet in the dark and most likely grab something black to wear. Primrose is my favorite!! Seeing her in that black outfit definitely makes me regret not getting her. I didn’t think she would fit in my collection of modern dolls but you have proved me wrong. I will enjoy her through your pictures and videos, and not beat myself up. 😉 I saw her costume on your’s or Grace’s IG post and it is fabulous! The most fantastic costume I’ve ever seen! Your Ariel is beautiful! I love the vinyl lashes on her and how you’ve made her a rocker! Other outfits that stood out to me are Lea’s, Nora’s, Claudie and your custom Claudie (can’t remember her name). You cracked me up when you said she wants you to come up to her level! 😆🤣 I also love the outfit on Grace’s first CYO! Can’t remember her name either. Willow is also a really pretty doll. I love that wig on her. I was just changing my Logan out of black pants that I had on him since June. I got them from Amazon and they are trousers, so fortunately not tight up against his legs, but it looks like he has black scratches all over his legs. Fortunately he had a white shirt on, so it’s only his legs, but lesson learned for me. He’ll have to do a sun treatment before I put shorts on him next year. Thanks for another great video!!

[@agtakesover]

Aw, your poor Logan. Many of us have been there, so I feel you. I'm so glad you enjoyed this week's color. It was easy enough but I really liked most of these outfits.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hi Kristie! I can’t wait till the end to see Primrose in her Ren outfit. I loved Ash’s look I did not know that the duster had the same pattern as Evette’s boots. 😄 I loved the winged eyeliner on Ariel. I just got her and she is adorable. I remember when you made her into a Rocker! Fun video as always. My son and his Fiancé went to the renaissance fair in Washington a month or so ago. They go every year. Maybe one year I will join them. ☺️

[@agtakesover]

Oh, you should absolutely go! I think you'd love it. It is truly a place where people can be exactly who/what they want to be with zero judgment!

[@katherinejohnson4184]

Oh I love all the black outfits. Black is definitely favorite color to wear, I have so many black clothing items. Okay so Hazel is my new favorite doll you guys own. I love her, she is gorgeous and looks so much like Kat Graham (Bonnie from the Vampire Diaries) Pru, Ariel, and Scarlett are my favorite outfits from this video. You did such a great job as always dressing so many dolls.

[@agtakesover]

Thanks - Yes, I can totally see Kat Graham in Hazel. She got done so dirty by the people in charge of that show...had to deal with so much racism. Fun fact - I interpreted for Ian Somerhalder once at a ComiCon.

[@katherinejohnson4184]

@@agtakesover That is so awesome, was this while he was Boone on Lost or Damon on TVD? Yes, they did Kat wrong on that show. She was my favorite character. It's so hard to see videos and hear stories about what actually went one.

[@Christiania21AG]

My favourite outfits where Prue, Ash and Nora And an honourable mention to Ariel's boots, Pollyanna wants them so bad!!

[@agtakesover]

Aw, Pollyanna would look awesome in those boots!

[@bcn_0629]

Hi there! What a great surprise 🤩🤩 I love black for me but I could not imagine this color for dolls. All the dolls are looking amazing 🖤

[@agtakesover]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I had no doubt they'd look good in black. Do you have a favorite color so far?

[@bcn_0629]

@@agtakesover Surprisingly brown, orange and yellow interested me so much. The mix and match in combination with the dolls you picked but, your green video, is close to my heart because this video gave me the chance to bring Kira into my collection 🥰😘

[@SadieAbby]

I had a list of my favourites but it was almost every doll 😂 I think Pru and Ash are my top 2 though! Absolutely love the variety of looks you’ve created (as always) and I’m surprised black is actually one of my favourite videos in this series because I don’t wear black at all irl as it makes me look like a ghost 😅👻

[@agtakesover]

Haha - I think so far brown has been my favorite, and orange and black are tied for second. :)

[@firecracker3911]

Can’t wait to see this!❤

[@agtakesover]

Yay! And then we get to see the other channels' versions - it makes for such a good agtube day!

[@melangellperry5984]

I’m so glad that I remembered to catch the premier today. Black was an easy one to dress the dolls in, but harder to photograph as the details sometimes can’t be seen. Your photography is amazing for getting the details. The dress that Primrose wore to the renaissance festival is stunning!

[@StylasStudioDolls]

I love both of Prim's looks. I also loved the outfits on Nora, Ariel, and Julie. So chic! I'm kicking myself for not using Ariel for my black video. She's great in black and I love that she's a rocker in your collection! Fantastic video. I always enjoy your photos "from the vault" as well. Thanks for the shout out! PS. I accidentally deleted your comment on my video. Uhhgg! That's what I get for trying to reply on my phone. But, to answer your question...Of course you can have a casual and a dressy favorite! lol! We both know I could never just pick one. I've been sewing like crazy. The ideas just keep coming. I'm grateful to have two weeks to work on white looks!

[@agtakesover]

Ah the perils of youtube comments - I've deleted them accidentally before, too. And I bet you ARE excited to have an extra week for white since you make so much of their clothing yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

[@StylasStudioDolls]

@@agtakesover Me too! lol! But, seriously, I'm looking forward to yours as well!

[@ag.bethany]

lol I said the same thing in my video about the shoes Wren is wearing 🤣 Maryellen mayyyybeeee??

[@agtakesover]

I'm watching yours right now - LOVE Emmy's dress! (I'll be sure to comment on your actual video but had to let you know I'm currently watching it).

[@starryeyeschick]

I love black on dolls…but like you, I’ve had black stain badly, so I’m careful how I use it. Great looks, though. I love Ariel’s rockstar look as well as Julie’s mod dress and Scarlet’s sophisticated lace top and skirt.

[@agtakesover]

Yep - I'm not going to stop buying black clothing for them, but I am a LOT more mindful about how long they stay in it now!

[@strangelyliteral]

I love everyone’s looks, Primrose was a fave this week. Also this is evidence of how many of your videos I’ve watched but I thought your custom joss was named Alice, and willow was your MG-mold who swaps wigs?

[@agtakesover]

@@strangelyliteral yep. You're a hundred percent right. It was a slip of the tongue I didn't even catch in editing. Bonus points to you!!

[@strangelyliteral]

@@agtakesoverlol, you have a lot of names to keep track of! At some point in my adult collecting I realized I had learned all the tm numbers without really trying, and apparently now I’m learning other people’s collections! 😂

[@agtakesover]

@@strangelyliteral I just started working on a video that features the TM boys. You know how my brain resists learning their numbers. But...I think I got them right, from memory. It FINALLY happened!!!

[@lisbetsoda4874]

​@@strangelyliterallol 😂

[@steph585]

Cute!

[@agtakesover]

Thanks!

[@charlotteamaro7165]

Still catching up with the series. This was perfect for today cause today was...well, a day! This really brought a smile to my face and probably lowered my blood pressure too. I love how you modified Ariel. Her eyeliner is stick on? Have you done a video about custom eyeliner? Forgive me if you did and I'm not remembering. If you haven't though, I think it would be interesting. Anyway, thank you for your videos and being you.

[@agtakesover]

I'm glad the video was a bright spot in a tough day. I'm really hoping these videos can be that for people more now than ever. And re: Ariel's eyeliner, I didn't make it but they're removeable vinyl stickers. I have gotten them from Etsy and from ebay. More recently, a subscriber made some on her cricut (or silhouette, idk) and sent me some, so that was lovely. Jo from @agtv4life makes them for her dolls and has featured them on a few recent videos. ...thank you for your support, and I hope you're taking care of yourself.

[@annettefedd488]

Oh my, they're all beautiful. However, if I was to choose one it would have to be Penn. Pimrose. I was wondering if you could tell me where you are getting the ear studs? I would like to make some earrings, but I don't know where I can find the studs. Thank you again for a wonderful video.

[@agtakesover]

Prim is a fan favorite yet again this week - and the ear studs I've mostly gotten on either ebay or FB marketplace and they're AG brand.

[@josepinheiro6064]

❤

[@agtakesover]

:)

[@mariadaddio2375]

Is Primrose DOTY Kira ??

[@agtakesover]

Nope. She's one of the limited edition dolls from last year - Shimmering Silver. I just gave her a slight hair cut and changed her lip color.

[@AnneSamson-ux9ej]

Is Nora a CYO?

[@agtakesover]

She is :)
