Sweater: I received my Molly doll along with her Meet outfit for Christmas in 2012 so I think the sweater must've changed a little over the past couple years. Mine is not a pullover, it opens and closes in the back with the new softer velcro. Either way I really like the bright design of the sweater and how soft it is 
it seems to have a lot of mix and match potential. It looks adorable with the dickey underneath but looks just as nice without it. A+
Dickey: It probably isn't going to be used too much with other outfits but it does look good with the Meet outfit's sweater. Just wish it didn't curl up so much, it's kind of hard to keep folded down sometimes. A-
Skirt: This has to be one of my favorite parts, if not my favorite part, of the whole outfit! It seems to be the right length and the right cut for a girl growing up in the 1940s, and it's such a lovely navy color. It can easily be mixed into other outfits. It's one thing that makes me wish sometimes that there was a white blouse included in the outfit instead of just a dickey because I can imagine how nicely it along with the skirt would look by themselves; it would probably make for a nice school uniform for other dolls. The material seems high quality. I'm not completely sure if it's 100% wool or a wool blend but it certainly isn't just felt. A+
Bloomers: I'm not totally sure if these kind of bloomers were still being worn around Molly's time, but they're quite cute. They're puffy enough that they obviously wouldn't do well with pants, but they work just fine under her dresses, at least from her time and further back. A
Socks: Nice, fairly thick white cotton bobby socks. That's about it. A
Shoes: Ugh! What were they thinking when they gave poor Molly these fail-tastic rubber/plastic shoes?
They look okay, but they didn't come off of her feet easily. I don't think I'm going to even try putting them back on. I mean, I do have one Bitty Baby outfit that includes plastic shoes but those are actually fairly easy to put on and take off. These, though, look like they'd be an unnecessarily long struggle. I noticed that in Molly's separate Socks and Shoes set that she has patent leather Mary Janes that snap open and closed. Could these shoes and Samantha's been why those sets were created? xD F+ (the plus is being nice since the Meet outfit does require some kind of shoes)
Overall rating for the outfit: A- or A
