Play Outfit (Retired)

Play Outfit

Grade: A

I wasn't sure if I would like this in person, but it looks really cute on Ruthie. The top and ribbon on the hat are a dark periwinkle color that was hard to capture on film.

The hat is a thick felt with three flowers and a ribbon. It looks adorable on Ruthie, but isn't very sturdy.

The top is designed to look like a sweater over a striped shirt with small flowers. It is one piece and velcros down the back.

The shorts are khaki with elastic in the back. The leather-like belt is only in the front and is not adjustable. Personally, the shorts were my least favorite piece, and I would probably make a skirt to go with this outfit.

Off-white socks and cream and khaki shoes with laces are included with this outfit.

Grade: A

I was immediately taken with this outfit online, and like it even better in person. Quality-wise, many pieces in this outfit seem better than recent Mattel efforts.

Socks: The socks are thick! No nylon type material here. Perhaps because it's a play outfit? Either way, these feel nice and I don't feel like I'm going to snag them with a hangnail.

Khakis: Thick material, just like mine! I do wish that the "belt" went all the way around and was a little more substantial, but it's cute. The elastic was a little tight around Kit's calves (I don't have Ruthie) but I got it up with a little tugging.

Shirt: Feels like it's made out of the material that lots of polos are made out of (pique?), with the cotton sewn at the collar and the sleeves. It's truly adorable, and is a great color on Kit - a periwinkle/violet.

Shoes: They are okay. The styling is nice, but I didn't detect much of a left/right differential, as has been present in other shoes. The soles are a little funky, rather soft, and I found the sides a little soft and, therefore, hard to get on over her heels. The laces are long and easy to tie.

Hat: The hat is pretty, but I wonder how long it will hold up, as it is just felt. I like the ribbon and flower detail. The gold AG sticker was attached to the outside ribbon, so I took it off and stuck it to the inside of the hat.

Overall, I really like this outfit. I am happy that I got a complete outfit for the price. I wanted Kit to have another option that wasn't a dress aside from her baseball outfit, and this looks great on her!

I LOVE Ruthie's play outfit!! The whole set is well made! The shirt is made out of a thick material and the flower trim is really pretty! The knickers are really cute and again are made out of a really thick material. The Socks are really really thick they actually feel like real socks! The hat is really adorable on Ruthie. The shoes are really cute too (but I have a weakness for Dollie shoes!) LOL A++

I got this outfit for all of my dolls to each take a turn wearing. It's an okay outfit but if I hadn't gotten it on sale Cyber Monday I wouldn't have bothered to keep it.

This outfit is adorable, but I like it on Kit better than Ruthie. The top looks great with Kit's blue eyes.

I bought this outfit at the August Last Chance Sale.

Hat: A They could have used a better material, but it is at least put together well.

Shirt: A+ It's a mock shirt with a vest over it, but it's super cute. Closes in the back with velcro.

Shorts: A- The shorts are adorable but I wish they'd put a belt all the way around. Elastic in the back.

Socks: A+ Cute knit on the socks, and they're a nice color. I wish they were longer though, because the shorts don't stay over them unless the shirt isn't tucked in.

Shoes: A+ Adorable, again. They tie and are quite sturdy. Easy to get on the doll's foot even with socks.
