Ballet Costume I (Sugar Plum Fairy) (1995-1999)

I like this outfit for its classic styling, but I'm glad I got it cheaply on Ebay. It's not quite the quality I was hoping.

Here is a picture of the whole outfit. The tutu is nice, but the skirt is very hard to shape into anything resembling something other than the flat bag it was packed into. (I am missing the tights and the program.) The wings are also VERY fragile, and probably wouldn't hold up to a lot of play.


Here are the shoes. They're cute, but not accurate AT ALL. AG fixed this with later ballet shoes, but these look more like the ballet flats you buy in shoestores today, so I might use them for that instead. They were kind of a pain to get on, as they are squishy (like Samantha's bathing suit slippers.)


Here is the bodice of the tutu. This is by far the best part of the costume. The fabric is heavy, but snags easily, so I was pleased to see that it fastens with snaps (but it's a tight fit.)


Here is a close-up of the tiara and wand. They are both really cute, and sturdier than I thought. However, the tiara was really rough on Jess's hair. It DESTROYED her braids: I had to completely redo them after this review.


All in all, I give this outfit a B-.
