Does anyone have a 1989 cranberry dress that comes with zippers and pearly looking buttons on the sleeves? I bought a WB Samantha who came with 5 sets of clothing, a few of them with zippers instead of velcro. They all seem authentic though and have the tags, and don't seem to be cheaply made. Just curious if some of the Pleasant Co dresses do indeed use zippers and sleeve buttons instead of the usual velcro.  Thanks!

My Chrissa arrived today and before this point I did not like her at all. My suggestion is that you take her out of that awful pink meet dress and put her in blues, teals, purples. It suits her much better and lets her beauty shine though. Mine's wig is a bit thin but nothing that I can't live with. I lucked out with a doll in really great shape and I just love her.

Got this set yesterday. I love the earrings and the purse. As noted by ag4alison, the gold coin on the necklace is a bit odd. I find it funny that it isn't silver since silver is the main metal color used in SW jewelry (and personally I think it would look better with the blue of the necklace). It is also funny that the coin has no design on it. It ends up looking okay, but they could have done better.

My biggest complaint is with the bracelet. Mine came twisted, but I just untwisted it. I also have trouble getting it on her wrist (I have Lanie with her bracelets and they are hard to get on, but not almost impossible like this one is). Also, the threads (and I do mean threads) that the coral beads are on look like they are going to break at any minute. I would NEVER give this to a child, it would be broken in a couple of days. I imagine that if the thread doesn't break, the rubbing of the thread against the metal clasp will cause it to fray and break. This will not be getting much use in my house and will be put away (or else I'll see about getting a second one via replacement parts).

Overall I'd give the set a B. I love the concept of the jewelry, but the bracelet is a fail and the necklace is only a C due to design issues. A+ on the purse and the earrings.

Lanie is a beautiful doll. I found her at a doll show in March, and I was amazed at just how pretty she was in person. My Lanie's hair is a little dry after three years of play, but it is still curly and fairly easy to care for. I have to give her an A+!

Here are some photos of my beautiful Alaina Evelyn Holland:

I got the sweater set on sale (I don't think they had the skirt in my size, and I already have an imitation skirt that my grandmother made). I wear the sweater all the time with other outfits. It's a classic silhouette. The shell is a little short, though, but I always had that problem with AG tops even when I was in the target age range. The fabric is thick and hasn't pilled, but I think I would have liked a slightly softer fabric.

Saige makes sure Picasso looks his best for the "save the arts" parade with this set:

A fancy western saddle, decorated with faux silver details to sparkle in the sun
A flannel saddle blanket and a pretty printed scarf for Picasso's tail
Make-believe horse treats and a clicker that really works—your girl can teach Picasso new tricks!

I think this is a cute set. The saddle is basically a black, more decorative version of the Western Saddle set with a different saddle blanket.



Close up of the saddle:


Clicker and saddle blanket:


The blanket is soft, thin flannel with a sewn edging.
The clicker really does work. It's attached to a reasonably thick covered elastic.

Picasso's scarf:


I had to wonder about the colour: where I come from, tying something red on to your horse's tail is a warning to those behind that your mount is likely to kick

With treats and clicker at the ready:


Not wearing her Parade Outfit (too lazy to change my doll at this moment!)


One thing I noticed is that the stirrup leathers seem a little too long when the doll is in the saddle, and the girth seems awfully narrow. It also sits further back than my memory suggests it should - but it's been a long time since I rode. The girth fastens with velcro.

Overall, it's a nifty set and I think it has great play value for kids (of all ages!).

My Gwen just arrived and I love her. She has such a gorgeous, sweet ic quality that #12 doesn't have--I think maybe it's her layered hair, lack of pie bangs and her little "wisps" on either side. I know that she has really similar qualities to #12 but I think she looks really different. Anyway, her meet dress is one of my favorites and really well made. Her face paint is also really vibrant too and gives her a nice glow. Honestly I wish that Gwen was the Girl of the Year, even with the "$100 Homeless Doll" controversy. A++ at my house.

Josefina was my second doll, i got her in december at AGPNY and i highly reccomend her. She is a beautiful doll with such a sweet, shy face. Her hair is an issue though, it tangles very easily and you MUST keep it in braids so it doesn't get ruined. Fina looks amazing in pastels and bright reds and oranges

I was really impressed with the quality of this sweater, and the working buttons. My only complaint is that it's snug on a current doll; I wouldn't even try to put it on one of my linebacker PM girls.

Here it is paired with the Sweet School dress. I think it would look cute with leggings as well.

The mini power beads are one of my favorite AG accessories ever. They look exactly like the ones I friends and I used to wear.

As the name suggests, these are definitely basics, designed to be everyday wear or mixed and matched with the Drawstring Cargoes and Plaid Skirt and Sweater sets. On its own, it can look a little plain; I always have to add a necklace, and sometimes the hoodie from the cargo set.

On the other hand, this is definitely very similar to what I wore around the millennium, flared jeans and rib knits.



I didn't have a problem with the fit of the jeans, but I do agree that the top looks unfinished, especially from the back. I always keep it tucked in because the velcro stops about halfway down.

I'd give this outfit a B; nothing wrong with it, but nothing special.[/a]

This review is for the 'Floral Pajamas" set. I purchased these on 3-3-2013.
Pajama set: These are a two piece set. There is a top and a pair of full length pant style bottoms. And, a pair of matching slippers.
The fabric is a good weight cotton. It is strong, polished cotton and pretty thick.
The printed pattern is a light yellow and light blue plaid on white. In the center of the plaid boxes are small dark blue rosebuds.
The overall effect is very pretty. The trim is made of a dark blue cotton piping, simular to the d. blue rosebuds. Also, there are dark blue satin bows as decoration.
The Top: The top reminds me of a shift. The sleeves are 'cap'-style ruffles. The decoration includes the curved/rounded inset at the sholders. This was popular in the early 1940's.
The neckline is straight across and has a small ruffle along the top. A d.blue bow is centered on the middle of the neckline.
There are two rounded pockets with a gathered ruffle. This has elastic and gives slightly. They have the same dark blue trim around them and d.blue satin bows. The back has a velcro attachment.
The Bottoms: These are well made. They are pants with an elastic waist. They fit very well. Molly can sit-up in them. The waist is high enough for her. There is a dark blue cotton piping trim at the cuff of the legs. Which is a very nice finish.
The Slippers: Cute Blue Mules, with and elastic back for fitting. I like the style, they have a seam on the top, and look realistic. They fit well too. I'm not happy with the small "kitten" heel. I know Molly would not have had these heels. But, I'm sure this is made for kids, as well as adult collectors.
Overall: A+
I am very well pleased with these PJ's. They are the 'Summer" PJ's Molly needed. I am the most impressed though, with the fact that they (AG) made sure that the "Plaid" matched up with the pieces on all of the top and bottom seams! That is hard and very nice. As well, the plaid is on a bias. Which means that there is a lot of care put into this outfit.

too.

I picked up the lavender ones just for the hair pins. The ponytail holders are made for thin hair. I couldn't get them to go around twice in Susanna's hair but the soft ones work well for sleeping and the elastic bands will do for thin braids and ponytails. The pink ribbon is actually a stretchy headband. It looks super cute on and fits PM heads too.
