I'm mixed on these outfits.
I think the girl's is adorable, with its substantial knit dress, tights, boots, and matching hair tie. The tights don't have a lot of give, so I can imagine them being difficult for a child to manipulate on her own, especially a child of the Twin's target market age. And while the purse is cute, it has a velcro closure on the strap that is simply too small and flimsy to stay closed. I think a little child would easily lose the purse in the course of regular play, so that's a definite flaw. But all in all, I do give the girl's outfit an A-.
And then there is the boy's outfit. My main objection to it is stylistic and admittedly subjective: in my experience, modern little boys do not wear breeches, even for holiday photos. But if you can get past that, the whole thing is very well made and the colors and fabrics are great. So, again, an A- grade from me. Our doll LJ is winking at you here in all his cuteness:
