I only had a handful of AGoT outfits growing up in the 1990s, and this was my favourite! I kept my complete childhood set, and picked up doubles of some of the pieces as an adult. I love the Converse-style high-tops the most, and it has a timeless quality overall. It gets an A+ from me!

I bought the HP Hogwarts Uniform With Pants during a recent sale, and overall the quality is decent. Here's what I think of each piece:
The Shirt: This is your standard AG white button-down in thin, crisp cotton. I like that it has functional buttons down the front, although I would also have appreciated Velcro or snaps at the sleeve cuffs. The fit is snug on my #39, so it won't fit chubby PM dolls.
The Pants: Very snug skinny-fit on my #39; stylish, but so tight that it's a little hard to pose her.
The Hogwarts Robe: This is the main reason I bought this set, and I'm pleased with the overall roomy fit. The sticker patch is a nice touch, although I would have preferred embroidery. The lining is a crinkly, almost plastic-like fabric, like a cheap umbrella; I was expecting something softer. But on the other hand, it's nice that AG lined it, at least!
The Shoes: The faux no-tie laces seem to be the norm for AG these days, so I'm not too fussed. I was pleasantly surprised that they are quite roomy, and they easily fit PM doll feet, even with socks on! They also fit slim AG dolls wearing thick socks (like the pair from the 1990s Perfectly Plaid Outfit)

I don't have the Slumber Shirt, but here's a photo of my Mini Miss AG Bear, with a 1996-tagged nightie: flic.kr/p/2pwQxQz(Just FYI, the bear in the first photo in this thread is actually Bitty Bear)

I only have the shirt for this outfit, bought used from eBay (the original owner purchased it in 1991 according to the listing) I made my own pair of navy blue corduroys to go with it, and pair it with Molly’s Saddle Oxfords as shown in her illustrations. The shirt is adorable! I love the tiny buttons and the cozy flannel that works just as well for modern and historical outfits. It fits my PM Molly very well, although the sleeves are a tiny bit snug at the wrists. I give it an A+

I just purchased a Mini Miss AG Bear with a 1996-tagged nightshirt, and I'm delighted to add her to my collection. Her fur and nightie are soft and cuddly, her expression is sweet, and I love that her arms and legs are jointed, too. She's just adorable!

I bought the 2023 rereleased version of this outfit. Normally, I prefer snaps to Velcro, but after reading the reviews I decided to make an exception in this case. It's absolutely darling! The colour is perfect for Molly 😊 Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the rereleased outfits since AG's "return to quality". Good materials, and excellent fit on chubbier PC dolls. 😁

I just received this set yesterday, and it's delightful! The cookies look too much like play food for my preference, but everything else is adorable. I love the little tin, and the plastic yo-yo has a nice wood grain texture;it's surprisingly heavy. My favourite pieces are the bunny and the Velveteen Rabbit book, which has the whole story! ❤️ 5/5 stars

I did not get this outfit on its original release, but I remember thinking it looked great in the Pleasant Company catalogue. Happily, I was able to buy it after Molly's rerelease last June, and it fits my PM Molly (Pleasant Company neck stamp, given to me around 1994) perfectly! Although she's not wearing the included Saddle Shoes here, they fit her chubby feet perfectly. I didn't even have to unlace them to get them on. flic.kr/p/2nN8cn2

I bought only the overalls for this outfit for a great price recently, and they're amazing! A wonderful, detailed little reproduction of human-sized overalls. They fit my chubby PM Molly perfectly, without being too snug, and look great with a variety of shirts. A++ quality, highly recommend.

I was lucky to get the Aviator Jacket and Cap as part of a mixed lot of boy clothes, after wanting it since its release, and it is fantastic! It fits my PM Molly (given to me around '94) perfectly, and I am absolutely delighted with the quality. The quilted lining, faux leather and tiny WASP patch are top-notch. Molly wears this with the black AGoT Doc Marten's boots and her Camp shirt underneath the jacket. EDIT 13/02/2024: I finally bought the khakis, and they are also fantastic quality. I love it fabric, and they fit perfectly. My rating: A+ for the whole outfit!

As I recently rediscovered this outfit among my things, I thought I'd post a review. I was given this outfit when I was around 11 years old in 2000-2001, IIRC. I wore it absolutely everywhere at the time, and have wonderful memories of walking through my hometown proudly matching my Molly doll. (Still searching for actual photos of the two of us... ) All pieces are size 10(M), and still (mostly) fit me now; I'm 24 years old, 5'1. THE SWEATER: The sweater is still comfortably roomy on me, particularly around the sleeves: they are long enough to reach my wrists, and it's surprisingly warm. I think the style is classic enough that it could still be worn as a mix-n-match piece with jeans today. THE BLOUSE: The blouse has ribbing around the peter pan collar. The puffed sleeves close with buttons at the cuffs. They don't quite reach my wrists anymore, and the blouse is tight around the neck if buttoned all the way up, but still fits comfortably enough. THE SKIRT: A lovely thick material, this skirt is wonderfully swishy. (A bit tight around my 29" waist, and the zipper doesn't quite close all the way... ah, the inconveniences of growing up ) THE BERET: As the beret is 100% wool, it tends to pill/attract lint, and also shrink in the washing machine, so I would recommend hand-washing this item. It's cute anyway.

These dolls are beautiful; although I don't own one myself, I have the books for Elizabeth, Neela and Kathleen and the stories are well-written and engaging. From looking at pictures, my favorite dolls are Elizabeth, Kathleen and Leyla... Such a pity the line was discontinued.

This is one of the few modern outfits I had for Molly as a girl, and she was always wearing it I love everything about it, the pieces are great to mix 'n' match, but especially the little Doc Marten's style combat boots. A+ from me (and Molly, too)

I have this dress, and it's by far Molly's favorite Halloween costume EVER! (She's had other, homemade costumes for the most part)Molly's been dressed up in it almost every halloween since I got it (new from AG when it had just been released) The necklace is my favorite part of the outfit, too, and I agree that the slippers are a tad flimsy, but really, it's not as if the dolls will be walking around in them, right? So it doesn't bug me. (I must add that I really like the idea of wearing the crown upside-down over a veil, I'll have to try that next time!)

I got these as a kid (12 y/o, I think?) and even though the pajama bottoms are too small now, I STILL use the PJ top on cold days because it's so cozy and warm! (I think I might get a brand-new set eventually, I love them so much )

VERSION II: I got this for Christmas as a kid in the mid-nineties (along with a few of Molly's school things) and absolutely LOVED it! I still have all the original food; sooo glad this version isn't clumped-- Yuck, that would just look odd to me! I did like the "brown bag lunch" idea, though, so my mom bought me some mini paper bags to put in it, as well. (Since my Molly has a huge sweet tooth, she got a couple more plastic cookies from me: oatmeal and choc'chip, yummm!)
