Reporter Outfit

Dress: I really like the red accents and the keyhole cap sleeves. The shape of the dress is adorable. I think I thought the colors of the pattern, though, would not be so... primary. I would have liked them to maybe be deeper or a shade off from red/blue/yellow, especially with so much of the red vs. a tiny print which makes the colors look less noticeable. I think that is a personal preference thing, though. I didn't really compare it to any of her other dresses, so didn't have a complaint about the length, but it still doesn't bother me after that was pointed out. Grade: A-

Shoes: I love the detailing. I'm being picky but I think I would have liked the strap/buckle placed a little closer to the toe on the shoe. They occasionally look like soft baby shoes to me. But, they are cute and I think that could be the effect of the socks (I am very anti-sock in my personal life so I often think they look odd, lol). Grade: A-

Socks: Standard AG bobby socks. The material feels nice, and they fit well. Grade: A

Headband: Yuck. It's very obviously plastic and doesn't sit right on her head. I think AG should stick to fabric headbands instead of hard ones because I've never had a hard headband (like this one, or the one that came with the Frosty Party outfit, etc.) fit a doll's head well. The fabric ones can stretch and assume the shape of their skull. The color matches, but I just wish it fit better. Grade: C

Overall Grade: B+
