When Luciana puts her flight suit on for the first time, she feels one step closer to being the first person to reach Mars! This blue flight suit looks like the real thing, with a zippered front, authentic patches, and a pair of dark-blue shoes. $28
Before Luciana, my collection was almost entirely historical, but cool pieces like this Flight Suit made Luciana’s collection irresistible. Gabriela is wearing it in these photos.
It’s a one-piece blue cotton twill jumpsuit with a zipper up the front. Dark blue stitching provides kind of a contour design in the front and simulates possible side-access chest pockets and an arm pocket on the left arm, but the only actual pocket is on the right thigh. Straps go from the side seams of the waist up to the front, where they attach with Velcro; these straps cover a bit of elastic at the waist but I don’t know if they have any other purpose. The jumpsuit is easy to get on and off the doll, and the back side is roomy enough for the her to sit down while wearing it.
There are six patches on the jumpsuit. They have a texture similar to iron-on patches, but they don’t seem removable (nor would I want to remove them.) The upper right arm has round Mars and NASA patches. The right chest had a round Space Camp patch.
The left chest has two rectangular patches. The red and blue one says “NASA VISITOR CENTER Space & Rocket Center HUNTSVILLE ALABAMA” and the black and gold one has Luciana’s name under a wing symbol. If someone wanted to use this for a doll other than Luciana, it would be easy to black out her name with a pen. There is a rectangular United States flag on the upper left arm.
I think the jumpsuit by itself is worth the $28 retail price, but it also comes with a pair of very dark blue slip-on sneakers. The shoes are just okay; nothing very special, but nothing wrong with them either.
Overall, I think this is a unique, well-made, and well-priced item. Even though its use is pretty specific, I’d easily give it an A.
