This made for a matched set of book and doll. This changed in 2004 with the revamp of the cover styles as Molly was put into her Halloween Hula Costume, and in 2014 with the launch of BeForever when the outfit was shown on the first volume. The outfits are still known as Meet Outfits, however, because the doll still comes in the outfit. These outfits show a general day outfit a girl of the era, class level, and culture would realistically wear. For several characters, the meet outfit has specific significance in the Meet stories--for example, Kirsten's are her first "American" clothes, and Addy's are her first outfit given to her on her escape to freedom. Meet outfits can be purchased as replacement parts; however, they are sold in separate parts parts generally consisting of the dress/outfit, shoes and/or socks, and underwear if offered. Purchasing them in this manner almost always makes it more expensive than buying a new doll and removing the outfit. When a character is retired, so is her meet outfit. With BeForever, the new outfits are currently available separately for $36; later, the original Classic Outfits were made available for Addy, Julie, Rebecca, Josefina, and Kit for $36. The individual meet outfits do not come with any of the hair decorations, ribbons, or barrettes but are otherwise complete. Outfits for Kaya and Caroline are/were not available separately as their outfits did not change; a Classic Outfit was not made available for Samantha as she had previously been retired for some time. Any exclusive BeForever Characters do not have meet outfits available separately.
