Mia Doll and Meet Outfit

Here is a picture of the Meet Outfit on #25. I think the coloring does more for her than it does for Mia. Sorry about the bad lighting.

I don't have Mia, so I'm only going to review the outfit.

First, we have a berry-colored sweater. I am neutral about the sweater's embellishments. For me, they kind of work for the girl I bought it for, because she's Russian and needs good wintry stuff. When I was putting this on, I ended up feeling very stupid because I forgot about the thumbholes and the sleeves were really hard to get on. Then I had a "Duh" moment. The sweater sleeves, I'm happy to report, look okay if you don't use the thumbholes if that's not your style. I actually quite like the sweater, snowlake iron-on transfer and all. Think of it this way: iron-on snowflake instead of sewn-on or embroidered snowflake gives you the choice! A.

Next up, the skirt. VERY DIFFICULT TO GET ON. This especially concerns me because she wears it with tights, which snag easily. The other negative about the skirt? When it's worn in a way that doesn't make your doll look stumpy, the hem of the sweater covers up the sequins and blue threaded design on the waistband, so then it just looks like a plain gray sweatskirt. It'd probably be really cute over one of the plain leotards, because then you could actually see the design. I know a lot of people are not big fans of the skirt's style, but I am a miniskirt person and I really like it. A for looks, C+ for the fact that it is so hard to get on and that so many shirts would hide the waistband.

The tights are your basic AG tights. Light Pink. I like them. A+

The shoes ARE ADORABLE. I actually bought them separately first as a replacement part, and then bought the rest of the outfit later. In my opinion, the cutest shoes AG has ever made! I love the color, both of the canvas and of the laces, and I like the fact that the laces are elastic. A+

I think the best part of the set is that the pieces are so mix and matchable. I have strong opinions about meet outfits and mix-and-matchability; that is, I think that the Meet Outfit should provide you with foundation pieces. Mia's Meet Outfit goes ESPECIALLY well with the pieces (besides the jersey) from her 2-in-1 outfit. In fact, my 2-in-1 outfit would feel incomplete without Mia's pink tights and turquoise sneakers.

Overall, I really like this set and would recommend snatching it up if you find it at a not-too-exorbinant price, especially if you already have the 2-in-1 outfit because it extends the wearibility of those pieces by a lot. But, AG, you really should have put more freaking elastic in the skirt. So, sadly, B+.
