LOVEEEEEE IT!!!
Swimsuit: Snaps in the back and is easy to get on and off. Grass Skirt: Ka-ute!! A longer version of the one with Molly's Hula Outfit. Lei: Very cute, festive, and easy to get on. Necklace: I like it, but when you have it on at the same time as they lei you can not see it very well. Anklet:Also a lei thing. Cute, easy to get on and off. Clip: Cute, actually functional, looks like a flower in the doll's hair. Ukelele: Sweet, actually works, and doll can hold it. Bonuses: Looks good on Marisol , Jess, Kailey,#28 and #25 espiecally! Takes less then five minutes for me to get on doll. Overall Grade: A+

The bathing suit, leis, and necklace are awesome. The hair clip is very pretty and would look great in dark hair. I didn't plan on opening the grass skirt any time soon and not quite sure about the ukelele. It is cute, but I don't see my dolls using it.

I was very pleased to see that this swimsuit had a snap and not that hair/spandex snagging velcro! The grass skirt is very well made, although we don't use it as much as the swimsuit itself. I LOVE the ukulele! It was the main selling point for me! The necklace and the leis are very durable too. Great all around set for the price. Grade "A" Josefina ready for our Totally Tropical party

This is a GREAT set! I am SO happy I got it. The highlights are by far the ukulele, the necklace, and the flower leis. The beaded necklace alone make the set IMO. The bathing suit is very cute, as well as the skirt. I think the snaps on the bathing suit are flimsy but that may be just me. Especially with the reduced price - the set is well worth the $18. If you like it, or some parts of it - get it. It is a great set.

This is one of my favorite outfits, and a must-have since I live in Hawaii. Everyone above has done such an excellent job describing the outfit, so I'll only mention one or two things. First off, the kukui nut necklace - kukui nuts are generally round, not flat like they are here, and I haven't seen too many painted kukui nut leis (or necklaces). Small nitpick there. ZenPug mentioned that it was difficult to see the necklace when the lei was on. It's very common to wear multiple leis on special occasions like birthdays or graduations. Also, you can see more of the necklace when you put the lei on the proper way. Leis should be worn with half in the front, half in the back - in other words, centered on the shoulders and not just hanging off the neck (that said, they do tend to slip). LOVE the pineapple ukelele. It really is precious! Overall Grade: A Here's a pic of Jess modeling it:

I love this suit. The colors are perfect. Word of warning though, my cat loves to chew on the grass skirt. It is odd, she normally leaves my dollies alone, unless I am trying to take pictures.
The nice thing about this outfit, is that it looks great on all the dolls. A+

This is my favorite AG bathing suit! The colors are so vibrant and tropical, and it's SO easy to get on. The grass skirt is very cute as well. The clip stays in very nicely, and the leis/necklace really give the outfit a finished look!
A+ from me!

I bought this for a surprisingly good price on eBay. It came with all the pieces, even the little flower clip. I wanted a nice bathing suit for my #4 Jessa and a decent hula skirt and leis for Molly. I got both for the price of one, along with one of the cutest accessories AG ever made, that pineapple ukulele. The bathing suit fits beautifully on plump PM Jessa. The snaps are a big plus - no snagging hair or fabric. Even the skirt fits decently and looks good. The leis are a lovely color that matches the suit nicely, and the necklace looks cute and hangs well.
Overall, highly recommended for Kanani and for any doll who needs a nice bathing suit and wants to go tropical.
