The '''Birthday Dress and Headband''' (also known as ''Kit's Birthday Outfit'') was introduced to [[Kit's Collection]] in '''2001''' and [[Retirement|retired]] in '''2015'''; the set was rereleased and retired in '''2023'''. It is associated with the book ''[[Happy Birthday, Kit!]]''. Retail cost was ''$20'' and later increased to ''$24''; the 2023 retail cost was ''$38''.<br />

<br />
Light green print wrap front dress with short sleeves; knee length. Cream cuffs and collar. Print of small flowers and circles. Dark green piping trim at sleeves, collar, and front. Matching attached belt. Three white nonfunctional buttons. Snaps at front and belt.<br />
<br />
The 2023 version has white cuffs and collar, the front wrap does not unwrap (and so has no snaps), the belt is attached, and the dress closes along the back with velcro. <br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
* In the book, [[Millie Morrison|Aunt Millie]] makes this dress for Kit using an emptied chicken-feed sack. Kit is especially grateful for it because she has outgrown all of her old spring clothes and has had to wear her woolen winter clothes even on warm days.<br />
* [[Margaret Kittredge|Mrs. Kittredge]] makes this dress for [[Ruthie Smithens|Ruthie]] as well as Kit in ''[[Kit Kittredge: An American Girl]].''<br />
