I love mini Addy in her holiday dress.  Her earrings stick out a little funny, but otherwise she's perfect.

I like this dress quite a bit, although I'm not sure the color is right for Saige.  The band around the middle goes all the way around the back which is a plus.  There is also a bit of tulle around the bottom of the lining layer which is a nice touch. The boots are realy cute, I like that they're low cut which makes them different from all the other AG cowboy boots. The necklace is pretty and will look good with many other outfits. Overall this is a great outfit, a solid A.

I love this outfit, especially the shoes. I love the criss cross ankle straps.  They are very similar to Nicki's gala outfit shoe straps, but these seem to be a little stiffer material.  Maybe it's just because they are new.

The dress is lined and has velcro up the back.   The sparkly thread doesn't bother me at all.  My pink flower was a little squished when it came out of the box, but it popped back up with no problem.  The barrette is all plastic.

Mini Ivy is super cute. I love her boots and I think her meet outfit looks better in miniature than on 18" Ivy.  In the Amazon stock photo the bottoms of Ivy's boots are black, but mine are tan.

I picked this up at the cyber monday sale for $18, but would never have paid full price for it. I love the shoes and think they could be used with a lot of different outfits. The skirts seems too long, or too poofy to me...not quite sure. The sweater is a nice color, but it's a bit thin and a tad too short. The headband is cute and plain enough that it can be used with other outfits too.

The embroidery on Caroline's nightgown is very pretty and I like the ribbon details. The slippers do seem more like shoes, but they are a nice blue and match well. I don't have Caroline yet, but her nightgown looks really good on blue eyed dolls.

The parlor set is heavy and sturdy and came very well packed and protected. I love that there is built in storage with the drawers and window seat. As others have mentioned the window seat is a little short and makes sitting awkward but it does work. There is an elastic loop in one corner of the curtain that's supposed to hold it up, but I think a piece of ribbon or something that ties may have looked a little better.

The firescreen is embroidered and is very well made. The wood is similar in color to Rebecca's settee, but it has a matte finish where as the settee has a shiny finish.

The horse is plastic and looks odd with a blue mane and tail, red blobs on it's body and a wonky looking back leg on one side. The rest of the accessories are great. The ship is plastic, but has fabric sails. The fabric is folded over on one side so you can really only display one side of the ship. The sailor's valentine has a nice rich wood frame. I love that the picture/mirror is 2 sided so you can change the look.

I think this would work well in a modern setting too if you change up some of the accessories.

Overall I would give this set a solid A.

This outfit is adorable, but I like it on Kit better than Ruthie. The top looks great with Kit's blue eyes.

From AG's Website:

When it's time to relax, she can dress her doll in this casual outfit:
A cropped hoodie—it has a zip front trimmed with ruffles
A tank with a happy graphic print
Twill pants have tabbed hems for a casual look
Add the finishing touch with turquoise sandals
Includes a "Strong" square charm for the doll's charm-keeper necklace

I love the colors used in this outfit. I'm so happy to have more neutrals for mixing and matching. The hoodie is soft and I love the ruffle detail near the zipper. The pants are nice and thick and I'm glad they don't have any logos or embroidery. The turquoise sandals have an elastic strap in the back to keep them on. The tank top has a shiny graphic on the front. I wish the top was just a tiny bit longer, but it's not too bad as is.

I will have to take some better pictures, but here are a couple for now.





4/4: new pics

I was really undecided between this set and the Feel Better set so I ended up ordering both. The panda is adorable, and my new favorite AG plush! The ace bandage and cast are both nice and fit well. The crutches are plastic...but the Feel Better crutches I received are also plastic. If I had known that ahead of time I probably would have skipped the Feel Better set and just have gotten this one.

I love the jacket. It fits well, but I haven't tried a shirt on underneath it yet. Anyone notice that the jacket on the hairstyle card has an orange zipper pull, but the actual jacket has a silver one?

The pants are pretty nice, I like cinched part at the ankles. The shoes are cute too and have elastic laces. I like the colors and details.

I love the different color highlights in McKenna's hair. I'm still undecided about her wig. I haven't played around with it enough yet so I'm not sure if I like the no part thing. Her meet outfit is cute. I really like the gray and turquoise color scheme, but could do without the purple ribbon graphic on her leggings.


Now for some McKenna/Elizabeth/Chrissa comparison pics:

The purple snakeskin boots are my favorite part of this outfit. The pants are really soft and fit well. The shirt is ok, but the colors seem a little washed out. Overall I would give this outfit a B.
