Kat is 18 1/2" tall and easily posable.

Kat comes dressed for her first adventure in Victorian England. The floor-length gown, in dusty rose and ivory, is accented with rose bows and pearls. She also comes with slippers, tights and underwear, plus a copy of Kat the Time Explorer. Accessories sold separately.

Vanity Accessories

A delightful collection of quaint curios. The exquisitely engraved comb and mirror once belonged to Kat's great-great-grandmother. The quill and inkwell are family heirlooms too -- though Kat still likes to use them to write in her journal. She also loves the perfume spray bottle and lace handkerchief that she discovered at the bottom of an old trunk in the attic. But Kat's favorite memento is the pewter picture frame left to her by her great-great-uncle.

Wonders of the World

Kat's Sleigh Bed

It's easy to dream of dashing to distant places in this grand sleigh bed. Fashioned from honey gold wood, it's designed with a high curved headboard and footboard. As a spread, Kat uses a pretty periwinkle coverlet topped with a layer of lace. And when Kat's ready to settle down with a book for some rainy-day reading, she props up against a comfortable oversized pillow covered in smooth satin. The set also comes with two throw pillows and mattress. Some assembly required.
