Voting ended onMay 15

commentary from the curator: I am reposting this one because when I was on my tablet switching tabs on the app, I misclicked my answer 😭😭 does this matter enough for me to post the poll again? probably not, but I'm doing it anyway because I do have a pretty strong preference on this one lol. anyway, feel free to vote again if you want, but the first one will remain up as well! ☺️

Kirsten's outfits were interesting– her Work Dress in her collection is green like the one in the books, but has different sleeves and lacks her red stripes. I also included her original On the Trail outfit from when it was in AG Magazine.
