I'm going to start off by saying that I do not like how AG styles this outfit on the dolls for the official images. The combination of 3/4 length sleeves on the sweater, mini skirt, and calf-length leggings give the appearance of a girl wearing clothes several sizes too small. Thankfully, that is not the case in real life (IRL).
The sweater is a nice deep shade of purple and is very plush. The sleeves can be pulled down to the doll's wrist to make it standard length, easypeasy. Unlike AG, I prefer the cowl neck to be crushed down so that I looks loose and natural rather than so rigid and structured standing straight up. It velcros in the back but it is not the snag-free kind.
The skirt is nice. It is short but I don't seem to mind as my dolls' characters are older than AG canon. I appreciate that the emblem is embroidered. AG could have cheaped out and given us an iron-on.
The leggings are very standard. It would have been nice if they hit the ankle or were stirrups. The shoes are fine, but I like to pair the outfit with a good pair of boots. The 2 hairclips are an added bonus.
