Per AG's website
"Raise the barre at practice in this cozy and chic outfit.
Includes:
-A pink long-sleeved cropped wrap sweater, a lavender leotard with gathered front detail, and a purple wrap-style georgette skirt with an attached bow
-A pair of pink satin pointe shoes with foil printing, satin elastic binding, and satin ribbon ankle straps
-A pair of pink knit leg warmers and light-pink tights"
This set was first featured in the Costco Ballerina doll sets, and I really liked the colors when I saw it. I didn't need another doll, but decided to pick this up when it was available on it's own. Overall it has some nice pieces, but one big miss is the shoes which are very cheap feeling. For $34 it definitely should have better shoes, otherwise everything else is in line with previous AG ballet outfits.
The cardigan is a thin knit that's light pink with some shimmer in it, and has 2 small pieces of velcro to close. Fortunately this is the only velcro in the set which is nice to avoid snagging risk.
Back of the leotard, it takes a little tugging to get on but worth it for no velcro.
The front has some ruching on the chest and spaghetti straps. The skirt is basic, it's a thin chiffon-like material but in a pretty classic style. It's called wrap-style but doesn't wrap, it's just a pull on elastic waist. I like the color and it matches with Isabelle (GOTY 2014)'s purple ballet pieces well.
Unfortunately the shoes are weird and drag down the overall solid basics. They are a shiny plasticy fabric with sequins on them and look very cheap. I don't mind the ribbon ties but they are a bit harder to get to look right. I'm definitely going to swap these for some basic pink ballet shoes from other sets.
The light pink/almost white tights and pink legwarmers are fine, similar to other sets. The leotard and skirt colors match the currently available Packed with Power Duffel Bag & Accessories which makes for a nice ballet bag.
