Kailey's Wet Suit and Bikini
GYOW $22
Grade: B

A really great set for Kailey. My daughter wears a wet suit similar to this one. I think it's wicked cool.

The suit is made from a spandex type material that is much like other AG swim suits released by AG. It's dark blue, lavender, and silver with silver piping. The suit zips in the front unlike most other wet suits I have used for my kids or myself.

There is a small detail on the left leg:

The water socks have a textured bottom. They are made with a heavier Neoprene like regular wet suits and water socks I have for where rocks are.

ETA:Sorry I haven't done the Bikini yet. Hopefully I will get to that real soon.

I love Kailey's wetsuit and bikini! I got some great use out of these pieces this past summer when I used them in a display for my dolls. This is a great set, it's just a shame that it goes for so much no ebay!

I'll review the bikini. This is absolutely adorable! It's made of spandex and very well done. As is typical of AG, it matches the 'current' style of that year.

A draw back would be that it has velcro on the back closer of the top and this can snag the material itself. So you need to be very careful when putting it on and off and when storing it.

Another draw back is that Kailey's tag shows when she's wearing this 'hip hugger' bikini bottom! Not very fashionable!

Tag shows when she's wearing this. Not cool!


I would still give this outfit an A because it is well made, cute, and stylish.
