Lanie's Butterfly Outfit
Item# G0744
$28

Lanie loves monarch butterflies—this outfit matches the color of their delicate wings.
Lanie chooses this fresh-and-fun outfit for special days:

* A sleeveless eyelet dress with a scalloped hem
* A knit cardigan with cropped sleeves and embroidered detail
* Red canvas sandals to match
* A monarch butterfly clip that can perch on her finger or in her hair
* Includes a craft card with tips for decorating a barrette with pretty buttons

The dress is well-made, with a lining inside.
I like it that the jacket is the same color as Lulu's leash.
It is a versatile outfit, as Lanie can wear just the dress on summer, or with the jacket for spring/fall. Good mix-n-match possibilities with other outfits too.

Great dress, really nice color palette, the shoes come on and off really easily, and the jacket has a functioning button. I'm especially happy with all the eyelit in the dress.

The colors of this set didn't really impress me. They were really bold and just seemed fake to me.

I really liked the barrette that came with the outfit, a cute monarch butterfly.

The outfit was well made.

I don't really understand why anyone would think the colors of this outfit are too bright. The red dress especially is a very soft, light red. Jess says this is the perfect Spring outfit. It's comfortable & versatile & she really likes the sweet eyelet trim on the dress, the soft little buttoning jacket, cute red sandals, & the butterfly clip that looks great in her dark hair. We give this outfit a solid A.

I think this is a very pretty outfit and give it an A+ overall.



The dress seems a nice cut and is made of loveliest rich orangey-red/pink (coral?) broderie anglaise. The jacket is a gorgeous vibrant orange. Both colours go well together and suit Lanie beautifully.

The dress and jacket fit nicely. I love the little dragonfly on the jacket and the monarch butterfly hair clip is so cute. I may steal it for my very own.

I found the shoes a bit disappointing imho in that they are pretty insubstantial and have no fastening, just an elastic strap around the ankle. I guess that is easier for small hands to put on, but these dolls ARE meant to be for ages 8 and up and personally I prefer the little, fiddly, details like buckles that work, that make other AG shoes look like the real McCoy shrunk to fit 18in dolls.

I really like this outfit. While the colors are both fairly bright, other posters are correct in saying that the red is actually a fairly soft red.
I think the red eyelet material is so sweet! I like the dress without the cardigan, although I generally don't like being able to see the doll's arm sockets and stitching. I want to try it on Piper with a white t-shirt underneath and see how that looks.
The butterfly clip is a fun little accessory. Looks cute on the finger or in the hair.
The cardigan is great paired with pants and a tee, as well. A good mix and match piece. I do feel that mine doesn't stay buttoned very well - the button hole seems to be a tad too big.
The shoes are really cute, stay on well, and will be good mix and match pieces too.
Grade - A

I love this outfit! The colors are perfect for Lanie (and Sonali) and the butterfly hair clip is a cute extra. I love the fabric of the orange jacket, though I'm not sure how to describe it! Here's a pic:

Ivy looks great in these colors!

I think this outfit is a lot cuter once I got it than it was on the computer. I only got this outfit because it was in the starter collection, which is the thing I got. I was very happily surprised when I found out how cute it was! Especially the hair clippy and shoes.

A++

I love this outfit! The dress is soft and lacy, with darling details. It looks great with or without the jacket. The jacket is bright and playful, with cute embroidery and a real button. The shoes and clip coordinate so well. I think this outfit is very well made.

[KitandKat]

I love this outfit! It was the only thing I wanted from Lanie's collection and was definitely worth it.

Dress: It's a very pretty, soft red - almost a coral color, made out of a lightweight cotton. I love the eyelet detailing. The dress is girly, yet the color makes it stand out. I think it works with or without the jacket. Grade: A+

Jacket: A vibrant orange color that complements the dress. The fabric is thick and high quality, seems almost like a waffle knit. It really buttons! (Though the button on mine comes unbuttoned pretty easily.) I could have done without the dragonfly, but it's not obnoxious. Grade: A-

Shoes: Eh. They are cute, but a bit flimsy and cheap-looking. They do stay on decently well, though. The white bow is a cute detail.Grade: B

Hair clip: Just a plastic butterfly clip with decals that make it look like a monarch butterfly. Still, it's unique. Grade: A

Overall Grade: A-
Shoes could use a little work and the button on my jacket doesn't button well, but overall love this outfit. The jacket is also great for mix-and-match.

I just got this outfit as the PWP at AGPS on Saturday. I have to say that before seeing the outfit in person I actually hated it. I was disapointed that this was the outfit available at the Seattle store because I really wanted the one with the blue rainboots instead.

However after seeing it in person, it's actually really cute and the colors are very nice. I looks especially good on McKenna.





The dress is very cute and great for summer. I love the little jacket and I think I would look cute over a t-shirt and jeans. Also the little butterfly clip is adorable. I give it an A.

[princessjoy]

I love all the warm colors in this outfit! It looks very good on dark haired dolls. (Jess and Katarina have claimed it)



The cardigan is a nice happy orange color and it has a tiny dragonfly embroidered on it.

Here's a close up of the eyelet pattern.


The dress is a soft red and it is very light and perfect for warm weather.



The hair clip is very cute. It seems sturdy and it is very easy to put in the dolls hair. The shoes are just orange sandals with an elastic strap that goes around the dolls ankle.

Overall I give this outfit an A.

This outfit proves that AG is horrible at taking stock photos. It's so weird looking from AG's photos, but IMO one of the cutest dresses AG has made.

The colors look wondeful on almost all of my dolls. It looks really good on Chrissa and McKenna, IMO. AG should really make more doll clothes in these colors.

The dress is well made. The eyelet pattern is so adorable. I'm not a big fan of how the straps look with the jacket, though, the straps sick out from underneath the jacket.

The jacket/cardigan's fabric is not too thick or too thin. It's textured really nicely and the orange button sicks out without being to noticeable. The dragonfly is adorable, as always.

The clip is cute. I like how it looks like an actual butterfly rather than being flat and looking fake. The print on it is well detailed.

The sandals are nothing special. They are just sandals, but they are still pretty cute.
A+.
