School Outfit (Plaid Jumper & Blouse) - retired

* This outfit was worn by Molly in the book Molly Learns a Lesson. It can also be seen in Changes for Molly, the short story "Molly's A+ Partner," and in the book Brave Emily.*

(The name of this outfit changed to School Outfit in January, 2009)

Here's a review for Molly's plaid jumper and blouse, which is her school outfit.

This is a very simple but classic school ensemble. First, there is Molly's blouse, which has small lace trim and two little buttons in the front. It also has a Peter Pan collar. It fastens with Velcro in the back of the shirt and also around the wrists.

Next, there is her jumper. It has a nice red, green, and white plaid pattern on it, and the skirt part of it has box pleats. Like the blouse, the jumper fastens in back with Velcro. I believe it is long enough to go right under Molly's kness.

Last are Molly's green hair ribbons. I think they are made of satin? The ribbons are a nice touch and complete this outfit.

I just wish the jumper were made of a slightly more stiffer material, since I think it can wrinkle easily if you're not careful. Also, I think the blouse is slightly tight around Molly's neck, but it may depend on the blouse you get or how chubby your doll is.

(This picture doesn't feature the green hair ribbons, but you get the idea.)

Overall, I would recommend this outfit. It is nice and old-fashioned, and it fits in perfectly with the fashions of Molly's era.
