American Girl Dolls were very popular in the early 2000s. They came with books of their stories and each are from different time periods.

To dress like Kit, wear a dusty rose shirt under a dusty rose cardigan, a floral skirt, and white shoes. Take a white knitted cap and add a green ribbon tied in a bow on the side.

Alice Angel from Bendy and the Ink Machine
Alice Angel (voiced in part by Alanna Linayre playing her original voice actress) is a character from Bendy and the Ink Machine. The first female character created by her animation studio, Alice’s popularity was on par with other well-known characters including Bendy and Boris. There are two ways to go about recreating Alice’s look, which will determine which supplies or accessories you may need. If you choose to simply dress as her, you won’t have to worry about body paint and can choose a pair of sheer thigh-high stockings to pair with your black dress, gloves, and heels. If you’re interested in going for the true black-and-white appearance of her original cartoon, you’ll need white body paint for your face, chest, and upper arms, and a pair of white tights. Lastly, don’t forget your wavy black hair, white horn clips, and halo. Use a makeup stick to add black pigment to your lips and draw on Alice’s beauty mark below her right eye. For an extra bit of authenticity, a fabric marker can be used to add black circles to the palms of your gloves.
