*The muff was worn by Felicity in the book Changes for Felicity*I have the PM version of this set and it is made from very high quality materials. The muff feels like satin and is trimmed with blue ribbon to match Felicity's Christmas gown. It is thick and puffy and feels warm. The drawback is, Felicity's arms don't actually bend to tuck her hands inside. The mits are marked left and right and feel like real leather. They have a pretty design printed on them but it looks nice. The pattens are made from real wood and metal and they seem like ice skates without blades. Grade: A

I just ordered these when they were on sale in December, and I love the set! They seem to be almost exactly like your PM ones. The muff is very nice, although the mitts may not be the same material anymore. But the pattens are still made of wood and metal. Very nice accessory set!

The mitts are now made from pleather instead of soft leather. Everything else looks the same and exceptional quality.

The muff: This is a wonderful piece. It matches Felicity's Christmas gown perfectly, and, as mentioned above is of very high quality. I'm a sucker for things that are actually embroidered and not screen printed. It is unfortunate that Felicity isn't built so she can wear this properly, but it's no fault of the muff's. A+  The mitts: I have the Mattel pleather version, and I have to say meh. They are embroidered, so points for that, but the pleather looks and feels cheap. These are basically just little tubes that go around Felicity's arms. They velcro closed and are helpfully labeled left and right. They do not close tight enough for my Felicity and keep trying to slide down her arm. C +. The + is for the embroidery, and the C is for everything else   The pattens: Yeah, they're cool looking, but they're also pretty useless. They slide all around and fall off her shoes if you try to move her in them. If your doll is tightly strung, she can stand in them on a solid surface if you arrange her just right, but it's very unstable. Forget trying to stand her on carpet. C-  I do not think this set is worth the $20 that was its original price, but the $10 it's going for now is a pretty good deal.

I have the PM version of these accessories. The muff is adorable and oh so plush! It has lovely embroidery and satin ribbons. I love that it has elastic to make it stay on one hand, though I would have loved it to be a bit longer so Felicity could fit both of her hands inside! Either way, it is super cute. The mitts are made of a supersoft leather with embroidering on it... so cute! They mold to her arms beautifully! I'm sad to hear that Mattel replaced them with a cheap pleather... I can see from the photos that the new ones just don't look as nice as mine do (not that I have a great shot of them to show you or anything, just Felicity in her winter ensemble with them on. The pattens are made out of wood and metal. They're really cute looking, but they fall off her shoes ALL THE TIME. I only put them on when Felicity is steadied with a doll stand, otherwise, there's really no point in trying to play with them.

I recieved the PM version of the muff in a lot that included Felicity's Christmas Gown and Red cloak. I love it. So detailed and pretty and it looks great with her dress and cloak.
I do not have the other things in this set. Maybe I can acquire them someday.
