Janie and Jack Midnight Rose Puff-Sleeve Top (2022)

[cheshie04]

Got this at the end of 2022. Retails for $14, bought on sale for $11. It's very nice, but it should be called a sweater, because that's what it is. Comes in a plastic bag in with a thick solid cardboard hanger.

This piece is part of the holiday collection released in late September 2022. There were several mix-and-match pieces as well as full outfits in the Janie and Jack + American Girl collaboration. I like several of the pieces, including this sweater, and how they can combine with each other.

Positives in my opinion include the balance of solid navy color which gives it versatility and the embroidered flowers that give it a unique personality, the simple Velcro strip up the back which makes it easy to dress and undress the doll, the nice quality of the piece, and the mix-and-match potential with other pieces in the collection.

My only negative is that I don’t personally love the overall style of the sweater. It’s a little short; it just goes down to the waist, which gives it a nice, fitted look but also leaves open the possibility for a little gap between the bottom of the sweater and the waistband of the skirt or pants that it’s being worn with. Not a deal breaker, but just a little annoyance that brings my overall grade down to about a B- for this piece.

Here’s the original website description, along with some photos of the sweater and how it looks with some other pieces of the collection on my 2006 Jess and 2021 Kira.
