Floral Jumpsuit

(price increase from $24 to $28 January, 2012)

Julie's Floral Jumpsuit comes with a cream colored, zip up shirt and the jumpsuit. The top has a circle zipper pull which is very cute and works nicely with Julie's necklace. The jumpsuit is made of polyester, has a navy blue background with brown, red, yellow and white flowers on it. It has raised, sewn seams on the legs and a faux brown belt with gold buckle. The outfit does not include shoes or a hair accessory.

Overall, I love this outfit. It's cute, very 70's appropriate and fits Julie well. The top has lots of mix 'n match potential. I only wish they would have used the snag proof velcro on this outfit. My Julie is currently wearing it with the boots from the Dog Walking Outfit, which complement the red flowers very nicely. AG shows it with her meet sandals, which look cute too.

Grade: A+

I bought this outfit because I love the colors in the jumpsuit. It's a better color combo from the 70's than some of Julie's other outfits. The small flowers, blues, and reds are very happy. I thought the jumpsuit was going to be corduroy, but it's not. It's about the most plastic, highly flammable polyester the manufacturer could find. In other words: gross! I would capitalize it, but I don't want anyone to think I'm yelling. I am still thinking about returning the outfit but it's so historically right on, that I am not sure. The fit is great (even if Rebecca looks a little bowlegged from the back). Form-fitting, but not too tight. The belt is sewn onto the outfit and is not removable.
The zippered mock turtleneck is great! The fabric is nicely textured, the zipper works easily (and the oversized ring pull isn't too big). It's also a great mix and match piece. It'll go with anything and isn't covered in flowers or completely plain.

Julie's Floral Jumpsuit

$24 (price increase to $28 January, 2012)

Julie loves to wear this zip-top turtleneck and groovy jumpsuit on cool days. The height of ‘70s style, it’s printed with bold blossoms, and has a belted waist and flared legs.

So cute! I know, it's Polyester, but that's so '70s! Be careful of snagging with the back velcro closure. The jumpsuit is a little snug on my Julie, but since it's somewhat stretchy, you can make it fit. The belt is sewn on and doesn't really work.

The shirt is so perfect for Julie. It's very versatile in use. The entire outfit looks great with her boots from her Casual Outfit. Grade A.

My thoughts are quite mixed on this outfit. I feel that the top is great addition to Julie’s collection, but that the jumpsuit is unimpressive. At $24, I also wish that it came with shoes, an accessory, or at least a hair tie.

Top: The long-sleeved, pullover turtleneck is fairly impressive. It’s well made, thick, and has a functioning zipper. No Velcro on this piece. Not only does this piece look like appropriate 70s wear, but it can also work for the AGoT/JLY/MyAG dolls.

Mine was folded sort of oddly in the box when I purchased it, which left the collar looking a bit wonky. However, I’m certain that it’ll straighten out with time or a bit of ironing.

Jumpsuit: I know that jumpsuits were somewhat trendy in the 70s. However, I’ve never seen pictures of anything quite like this on a 9-11 year-old. Also, they didn’t seem to be commonly worn over pullovers. Perhaps, it’s a regional thing.

The jumpsuit fits okay on many newer dolls, though it makes them look a bit shapely. I doubt it’ll fit the chubbiest PC or Mattel dolls. The polyester seems period appropriate, though it doesn’t feel the greatest. The raised leg seams and belt add some much needed detail and contrast to this outfit. However, I wish that the belt was removable. It could have been fairly versatile. Like others have noted, the jumpsuit has a Velcro closure that could snag the outfit.

Since Julie doesn’t wear this outfit in the books, Ivy has claimed it for now.

Overall, I probably wouldn't pay full-price for this set, but it could be worth getting when/if it's on sale.

After watching the brady bunch on youtube....This was a must-have!!!
Turtleneck: B+, I wish it velcroed....
Jumpsuit: A+ It is adorable and goes great with other things.
Shoes:......AG!!! Why didn't you give this outfit shoes!! Do you want Julie to go barefoot!? Fine. D-

Overall:
Quality and play value: A+
As an outfit: C....No shoes? what is up with that?
