Corinne's Ski Outfit - $38.00
Product Code: HCM97
We brought two of these outfits home with us. Very nice! Colors are not what the AG stock photos or my in-store photos show, though. In real life, they're duskier and less cotton-candy looking. There is no "baby blue" on the pants or mittens but a nice lavender. The mittens were made of the same fabric as the suit's lining. Overall, less nursery-looking in color tones. I'm very happy with the way it really looks! In the next week, I'll put Jill and Silver in these outfits and try to get lighting that shows the true colors (and will update this post). Since the fabric has a sheen to it (like nylon looks), my first photos weren't any closer to true color than AG's stock photos.
JACKET AND PANTS. Very nice and better quality than I expected. Similar to the 2000 Downhill Ski Outfit. Nicer than the 2010 Ski Outfit. Definitely looks like a ski suit and not a puffy snowsuit. Doll isn't stiff in it at all and moves fine, but it has more bulk than a thin jogging suit. They added a gusset on the inside leg seams to allow for boots underneath without looking like bell bottoms without the boots. (The pants fit great over Corinne's Meet boots.) Sleeves are nice length for wear without the mittens. The faux fur around the hood is a little skimpy but soft. Polyester zipper. Really nice fit.
MITTENS, SOCKS & HEADBAND. The mittens are . . . mittens. They're fine. The faux fur looks better on the mittens, since there's less space for it to spread out. The little shortie socks are the nicest things. Wish they made more of these in different colors for separate sale. The headband? 👎 Shame on AG. They should have sold the outfit with fewer pieces and charged less. Think of a piece of very cheap fleece fabric with a seam on one end. Absolutely no stretch. Not even a hint of elastic or stretchy fabric. If you take the doll's hair (wig) off, slide the headband onto the neck, put the wig back on and slide the headband up, it looks cute with the outfit.
