Ice Skating Set

Another wonderful addition for Caroline's collection. I'm really impressed with the quality of the ice skates, they're really heavy and made of metal (I believe) and amazingly detailed. The straps are a little flimsy and easily rotate so they become backwards, so I had to be careful to fix them the right way. The faux buckles have velcro closure, again, not the best but I couldn't imagine being able to actually buckle something of that size.



The boots are too cute but a little difficult to get on. I had to pull the shoe laces almost completely out to get them on her feet and after I pulled them I couldn't do a bow, I just had to gently knot them and tuck the ends inside her boot so they didn't hang.



The mittens are adorable as well, however the fabric felt a little thin, I was afraid if I pulled too hard I'd rip a seam. I stretched them gently to get them on her hands and they look so cute on her. It's definitely an item to take a little care in putting on and taking off.





Overall this set gets an A from me, it's definitely a must have to pair with Caroline's Winter Coat and Cap set!



ETA: I noticed one of her buckles I didn't push back over toward the velcro closure but it's there even if the pics didn't show it! Now I need to go fix it...LOL
