Sweater: I love the sweater. I actually have a short-sleeved fair isle so yes, it's realistic. I wear it in the fall and spring. It's warm yet breezy at the same time. The design is very similar to a real fair isle and I think the colors are pretty.
Skirt: Too tight, which I was disappointed in because it does have elastic. It barely fits Cate (Mia) so I haven't tried it on a PM doll. From what I've read it seems like there's some variation in the fit. It's also really short (like, 1 more cm and you're seeing her underwear), so I pair it with tights.
Jersey: I was also surprised with the feminine fit but I decided mine is a t-shirt that's supposed to look like a jersey, like something you'd get from a sports souvenir shop. I mean who's going to play hockey in a mini-skirt anyway!?
Leg warmers: Okay, stupid AG... the catalog has them on over Mia's tights and under her skates. This is very hard to accomplish! They look cute without the tights though. I don't really think of them as anything more than a fashion accessory. I like the color.
Hat: Cute, definitely a candidate for pilling. I think it's supposed to be a slouch beret type? Fits better than most AG hats.
Hockey stick/puck: I haven't used these much. I don't really like that the blade's pink on the hockey stick. I think they are good accessories though... I just wish I had another stick so they could actually play.
Gloves: I have also seen and have a pair of long gloves so that's not unrealistic (they don't button to/match my fair isle sweater though...). I kind-of like the button aspect because there isn't a huge gap between it and the sleeve and it looks like she's pretty warm. Plus then the glove doesn't slide off her hand. I do agree that the elastic might break after heavy play.
I didn't know it was a left-handed stick (which is neat) so Em has it in her right hand, but here's a good size comparison of a doll with the hockey stick and puck. And random animals.
Grade: B+/A-
