In my earlier review, I talked about how roomy the overalls are in this set and speculated that they might even fit my big PC doll. I wanted to circle back around to this, since I recently tried them on my big-bodied early release Josefina from the late 1990s.
They do go on okay, although the fit is a bit snug. They’re particularly snug vertically on the torso (I don’t know what the measurement is called that goes under the crotch and around over the shoulder), but because there’s not a way to loosen the straps, there’s not a way to change this. In general, the overalls are fine for standing up in. Sitting down is possible but tricky, so they're probably not generally a good pick for these large bodied dolls if mobility is important. I still give the overalls a solid A/A-.
(In this photo, I paired the overalls with other contemporaneous 1999ish pieces - a white thermal top from the 2001 Camping Outfit and the boots from the 1998 Riding Outfit. In fairness, a thinner top might allow just a tiny bit more room to make sitting easier, but since Josefina is already going commando here, I don't think it would make a substantial difference. Evie, who's next to Josefina, is wearing the 1999 Plaid Skirt and Sweater Outfit, which makes her look equally as huge as PC Jpsefina ... but that's an illusion due to the bulky sweater and platform shoes.)
