Grade: A
I was immediately taken with this outfit online, and like it even better in person. Quality-wise, many pieces in this outfit seem better than recent Mattel efforts.
Socks: The socks are thick! No nylon type material here. Perhaps because it's a play outfit? Either way, these feel nice and I don't feel like I'm going to snag them with a hangnail.
Khakis: Thick material, just like mine! I do wish that the "belt" went all the way around and was a little more substantial, but it's cute. The elastic was a little tight around Kit's calves (I don't have Ruthie) but I got it up with a little tugging.
Shirt: Feels like it's made out of the material that lots of polos are made out of (pique?), with the cotton sewn at the collar and the sleeves. It's truly adorable, and is a great color on Kit - a periwinkle/violet.
Shoes: They are okay. The styling is nice, but I didn't detect much of a left/right differential, as has been present in other shoes. The soles are a little funky, rather soft, and I found the sides a little soft and, therefore, hard to get on over her heels. The laces are long and easy to tie.
Hat: The hat is pretty, but I wonder how long it will hold up, as it is just felt. I like the ribbon and flower detail. The gold AG sticker was attached to the outside ribbon, so I took it off and stuck it to the inside of the hat.
Overall, I really like this outfit. I am happy that I got a complete outfit for the price. I wanted Kit to have another option that wasn't a dress aside from her baseball outfit, and this looks great on her!
