Shirt – A+
I’m not sure if I’d describe this as a peasant top or not, but it’s a pleasing magenta colour with flower embroidery. It’s a little shapeless, but I think it’s meant to be that way – this came out when I was in the upper end of the target age group and I definitely saw shirts for girls like this. It many ways, it’s reminiscent of Josefina’s camisas with its gathered scoop neck and puffy sleeves. I’ve always liked this top for how modern it is (for the early 2000s).
Top.
Capris – A+
Olive green capris made of, I think, twill. Like the top, these remind me of pants that I both wore and saw other girls wearing during this period, so I’m fond of them. They’re a flattering length with the hem able to be tightened with drawstrings. They also have a drawstring waistline, which matches what I was wearing in those years. They also likely have some mix and match potential.
Capris.
Shoes – A+
Lovely canvas sandals. Like other parts of this outfit, these are very similar to what I was wearing in the early 2000s, so they appeal to me for that reason alone. The buckle on them actually works and is the only way to get the shoes off and on, which proved to be a slight difficulty when I was a kid, but I like it as an adult collector. Saila’s feet are a little big in the sandals, but her feet are longer than an AG’s – they aren’t small on an AG doll.
Comfy looking canvas sandals.
Good Value?
This retailed in the early 2000s for $22, which I think is fair for what you get. My parents bought it as a set with the Flower Power Outfit, the Denim Jumper Outfit, and some accessories. I don’t remember how much it was, but for them to purchase the set, it must have been a fair price (my parents really weren’t big on buying stuff from AG when there were local options available). I don’t know what it goes for on the secondary market, but the original price is good for an outfit and shoes.
Overall – A+
I used to put this on Kit when I was younger, but now Saila has claimed it. Honestly, I think it looks better on darker or medium-skinned dolls. Looking back at AG’s photos of it, it looks like the shirt was meant to be tucked in, but I’ve never done it that way. I love it regardless. I adore the muted colours and how much it resembles things I was wearing in 2001, so the nostalgia factor is strong. This is one of my favourite Spring or back-to-school outfits.
