This outfit was released on August 23, 2022.
When Claudie takes dance lessons with her best friend, Nina, she gets to wear this fancy flapper-style outfit. Includes:
A purple satin dress with black ruffles and a black sash at the waist
A matching satin headband with a large bow on the side
A pair of silver sparkle tap shoes
Claudie's Jazz Performance Outfit - $35.00
Includes: Dress, Headband, Silver Shoes
We went down on release day to American Girl Place in Easton (Columbus, Ohio), arriving about two hours after the store opened. Claudie only had three closed display cases (one large one for all her outfits, one cute display near the front door, and one showing her bed). That means we couldn’t actually feel/inspect anything, so this is a visual review! For a first, the colors on AG's stock photos (see American Girl website) are SPOT ON. What you see (at least on our three monitors) is what you’ll get!
(NB: AG describes this as a “purple satin”. Definitely not. It’s a nice wine-red color, and the black is very black. If this were mine, I would not leave my doll in it for extended periods. It looks like a real stainer.)
The tight-fitting dress’s satiny fabric is similar to Rebecca’s Beforever pink pajamas. Bow headband matches. I would expect wrinkles out of the box. The shoes are . . . well . . . let’s just say your doll won’t stand up in these weird-looking vinyl “taps”. And they didn’t have any sparkle, just silver vinyl. The heels on these shoes are even taller than Ruthie’s Meet shoes. Even the display person at the store had to just suspend the doll in a big waist stand. Definitely no replacement for Gabby’s tap shoes, in my opinion.
