Updating my old review!
New review (19 August 2014):
The Radiant Rhinestones Outfit is my favourite holiday dress. The outfit comes with a red velvet dress, standard white tights, red velvet mules, a white suede coat, and a gold hanger. I recieved this outfit as a gift on Christmas 2003, and it was my very first modern AG outfit.
There are rhinestones and snowflakes embroidered on lower right part of the dress and a belt with rhinestone detail - adds a cute touch! The bodice of the dress is lined with a red satin material. The mules are made of the same red velvet material as the dress and have little velvet bows and rhinestones on the front of the shoe.
The red velvet on the dress and mules does have a horrible tendency to stain doll vinyl and cloth. My tights are stained red where they've come into contact with the velvet. This does not bother me, as I only use these tights with this outfit. However, I would advise caution with storage and would not recommend leaving this outfit on a doll for an extended length of time.
The coat that comes with this outfit is also very sweet, though I rarely use it. It's made of suede and faux fur and features embroidered snowflakes and sequins on the front.
The hanger is also unique to this outfit. It's gold and says, "2003 / Holiday Limited Edition / American Girl".
Overall, I'd give this outfit an A because while it's my favourite, it does stain.
Old review:
This is my favourite Christmas outfit ever made by AG! I love every detail: how it’s lined like a real dress and coat, the sequin and rhinestone details, and the sleeves. I really love the sleeves. They have a very nice bell-shape to them, subtle, but lovely. The shoes are adorable too, with their rhinestones and bows, but they don’t stay on the doll’s feet very well as they have no backs. This dress and shoes are also notorious for staining dolls and the tights, but as long as your doll doesn’t wear it for more than a couple weeks of the holiday season, she should be fine.
My grade: A
