I have mixed feeling about the dress. I don't really like the polyster-y feel of the black and white pattern, but I love the white front (yolk?) and sleeves with all the ruffle detail. the "bretelles" are good, however one of mine seems determined to stick up the wrong way. I bought this for Samantha, and it seems go work well with her coloring too. I don't have the shoes so I can't comment on that.

Shown here with Rebecca's School boots, which I think look much more appropriate than Sam's black Mary Jane shoes for the period.

I have the second version with the full sandwich, 2 peach halves, and gingerbread cookie. It's a very cute set, though I do wish I had the deviled egg. The one thing that I noticed is the peach halves look out of proportion to the other pieces. Mine look huge, and are bigger than the sandwich. Also, they seem a bit tight in the tea tin, but it does fit.

Very cute! The robe is a silky material and has a nice floral pattern. The slippers look really knit. However like others have said they do tend to slip off Sam's feet. Oddly, the right one is fine, but the left one seems a little big. Not sure what's with that.

It's certainly a nice outfit, but not a must-have. Luckily it goes for pretty cheap second hand on ebay, so it doesn't cost too much. The outfit is pretty cute, and *very* lace. The pinafore wrinkled easily though. Like others have said, the dress looks pretty plain by itself.




The lacy whites under it make it look a little bulky in this one.






Props to AG for making the pinafore tied rather than velcro. The lace could have been dreadful if it was caught. Though my bow-making skills might need some work.

Such a cute set! Looks great over a lot of outfits, and seems to fit the time period well. I don't have the hat, but her meet hat fits in nicely. The scarf looks really pretty tucked into the duster, but like others have said, it is really just a ribbon and not a full scarf that could be wrapped around. I love the pleated detail on the shoulder. The duster has real snaps too (no velcro!), which is very nice. Though it does look better closed, I think it doesn't look too bad open. See the last picture.

Pretty, but a little snug around the waist on my '99 Sam. However it seems big in the chest and sleeves, but that may just be the style. The dress is labeled made in China for AG in '86. I like the buttons on the front, and the little bow, which luckily I haven't had an issues with riding up. Sam looks really cute wearing it when playing with her other school accessories.

Cute! The look so good with her cape and garters. I have a little trouble getting the hat not to look poofy on her head, but its do-able. Not being able to fit both hands in the muff doesn't bother me personally, I think it looks a realistic size if she was real and could bend her elbows to fit in it.
