Molly's Miss Victory Costume
Molly's Miss Victory Costume (also known as Molly's Miss Victory Outfit and Molly's Tap Outfit) was part of Molly's Collection.
The outfit was originally part of Molly's Winter Activities, a set released in 1990. The outfit was removed from the set in 1997 and released as a separate outfit in 1999. The first edition was retired in 2006 and rereleased later that year; it was finally retired in 2013 with Molly's collection archival.
The outfit was associated with the book Changes for Molly and the movie Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front. First release retail cost was $20. Second release retail cost was $28 and later increased to $32.
