I bought this outfit during cyber monday, and am very glad I did. It's the perfect holiday outfit for my Esther (Rebecca), and I will upload photos of her in it later. So a breakdown of the pieces of the outfit from head to toe:
Headband: Adorable. The ribbon is shiny and satiny, compliments the outfit perfectly but is still simple enough that it can be paired with other looks. I was worried about it not fitting, but it fits rather well. There isn't really a gap between her head and the head band, but I think that's because I have it at an angle since it's holding back Esther's curls. I hate the ridiculously long tag on the headband though, and have no idea what possessed them to do that. I will be cutting it off soon.
Sweater: It's a lovely icy baby blue. I love the material it's made out of, it's so cozy. I like the ribbing on the end of the sleeves. I have to agree with everyone else, it is snug especially the sleeves, I can't lift Esther's arms without it bunching a bit. The embordery is nice, I'm not sure what the design is supposed to be, but it looks like silver tree branches so it has a nice winterwonderland feeling. I think this sweater is perfect for a girl who wants to look nice for a party but does not want to wear something fussy or uncomfortable.
Skirt: Oh the skirt, I wasn't sure what to think of it. The pictures on the website made it look really awkward but in person the shape isn't as awkward. It poofs out, making her look like a little silver bell or winter princess. The ruffle swirl pattern dresses it up with out being too flamboyant. It a little hard to get on, but I think the elastic will be easier to get on the second time. I was worried it'd lower in the back when I sat her down, but it doesn't shift at all.
Shoes These are my favorite part of the outfit, they are the most adorable little silver flats. I had no trouble getting them on Esther. The flower charm on the end of the straps is the cutest. Intially seeing them I thought they were snowflakes, and they still seem like snowflakes to me so I'm going to keep thinking that since it makes it more wintery. I can't wait to pair these with other outfits. They can easily be used for fancy and causal outfits.
Final grade: A -, the factors keeping it from getting an A are that sweater's a little too snug, the obnoxious tag on the headband and the fact that I don't think it's worth $36 so I wouldn't purchase it if I hadn't been able to get it at such a great price.
