T-Shirt – A+
A very standard, versatile, cute t-shirt. It’s made of a thick cotton with a pink AG flower decal. Opens in the back with Velcro for easy dressing. It’s a simple piece, but I love the realism of it (it feels and looks just like a real t-shirt) and the versatility with other outfits.
Jacket – A+
This is the star of the outfit for me. There’s a lot of detail in this small jacket to the point that it’s basically a doll-sized version of a person’s jacket. The outer layer is a sturdy reddish pink windbreaker material with lines of simple embroidery of pink, dark blue, and light blue. The durable zipper (which can actually zip shut with no problem) matches the colour of the jacket. The cuffs are light blue, which matches the nice, thick, soft lining. I doubt that the hood would cover most dolls’ hair, but it looks nice as part of the jacket.
It slides easily onto the doll with plenty of room over her t-shirt. It’s not tight and fits her like a genuine jacket would. Just a very well-made piece.
Jeans – A+'
I’ll admit that I have a soft spot for these because they remind me of jeans that I wore in the early 2000s. They’re made of a durable denim and cut into a flare that was very popular during those years. The embroidered and beaded flower detailing on the sides is super cute. They’re easy to put on with a Velcro “fly” and button. I really like that they offer enough room in the rear for the pants to stay up when the doll sits down.
Shoes – A+
As seems to be the theme with this outfit, these shoes are doll-sized replicas of the real thing. The white and blue match the outfit nicely and the Velcro-closed zigzag laces make them easy to put on and take off. I have no idea what tennis shoes are typically made of, but these feel like they’re made of that same material. The rubber soles also help the doll stand properly since they grip the floor so well.
Socks – A+
These socks are so fun! They’re just the average AG sock, but the stripes match the outfit while giving them a fun accent. What especially pleases me about them, though, is that AG cut the jeans in such a way that you can see the socks through the jeans’ side-slit! This was something that I remember doing in the early 2000s, so it tickles me to see it in doll form.
Look! You can see the socks through the jeans opening! I wonder if it would be weird if I tried to bring this trend back...:-P
Good Value?
I got this outfit in a lot from Craigslist, so I couldn’t tell you how much I paid for it (though it was definitely pretty cheap), however, the internet says that it retailed for $26 if purchased separately from a JLY doll, and I think it’s a fair price given everything that comes with it. I really miss when the modern meet outfits came with this many pieces.
Overall – A+
I added this to my collection as an adult collector, but it’s very reminiscent of what girls were wearing in the early to mid 2000s. I’m very impressed by the detail put into all of the pieces and how much each one resembles its girl-sized counterpart. Of all of the modern meet outfits, it’s definitely one of my favourites.
(The bandana that Aziza is wearing is actually mine from the early 2000s – I don’t wear it anymore and thought it matched the colours of the outfit well – and the watch probably comes from this outfit’s accessory set, but I don’t have the full set and can’t be sure).
