This pajamas set comes with a top, bloomers, and pair of green slippers. It was sold from 2015 to 2019 at American Girl and cost $24.
The top and bloomers are made of a sturdy white cotton that has a scattered blue and green floral pattern and embellished Swiss dots. This is the same fabric that’s used in the Hairstyling Set. The pieces in both sets are trimmed with bright spring green grosgrain ribbon bows. It’s the cute pairing of these two sets that made me want to get the pajamas.
The baby doll top is gathered at a boat neck, with cap sleeves, side slits, and a strip of Velcro up the back. The grosgrain ribbon trim is along the neck and sleeves, with little green bows on each shoulder and at the top of each side slit.
While I think the top is cute, the wide boat neck does limit its appeal in my eyes. I think it looks good on dolls like my Jess, whose fabric and vinyl tones match pretty well and who has a pretty smooth neck, but some of my dolls have more gathering and wrinkles at their necks or more of a color contrast between their vinyl and fabric bodies, and I think the wide boat neck on this top calls attention to those issues.
The bloomers are gathered at the waist and each leg. Both the top and the bloomers have the American Girl tag/label sewn in a seam on the inside.
The green slippers have the ribbon bows, matching the top and other pieces. The slippers are pretty sturdy and have green plastic soles; they could probably double as ballet flat - styled shoes.
Overall, I think this is a cute pajama set, but the wide boatneck restricts which dolls I’d use it with. I do think it’s a quality fabric, and it’s especially appealing when paired with Hairstyling Set. On its own, I’d give it a C.
