Though a pretty nightgown, I did hesitate picking up this one since Sam's old nightgown is really such a thin material, not winter fare. But NY summers do get hot, so I got this sleeveless one that will also look pretty with her kimono robe. Also think it's a very nice gown for modern dolls to wear as well.
The slippers are similar to Nellie's; I could not find Sam's original knitted sock/bootie slippers that came with her kimono, but these are more pragmatic , I think, to go with the robe. I may not have the older slippers at all, come to think of it.
At $24, this is priced as many such night sets are and I'd have left it as that except I picked up Addy's at the same time and opened both boxes just now, and really, AG,...why no little bow or other little extra for the same price? With the embroidery, sleeves, the cute slippers and bows with combs on them, TWO of them all for the same price when it came to Addy's set, and just the sleeveless nightie and slippers for Sam seems to be a bit sparse. In all fairness, Josefina's set is the same, just a night gown and slippers. Maybe the material in the slippers is more substantial. Or maybe it's just to even out the cost without making everything equal.
So I give this a B. It's pretty, works with the prior robe, sleeveless so can be a summer nightgown, has a fitted look, a different type of slippers, but a bit slim for what it's offering as compared to Addy's.
