Grade: B+
I have had this outfit for about 10 days and Chrissa has been wearing it while in her stand on my desk. I came home today and found the goggles on the floor. The strap ripped where it went through the buckle. I'm concerned the rubber isn't made to stand up to periods of wear more than a few hours. There seems to be a weakness in the rubber at both buckles.
I took off the straps and was trying the goggles on other face molds. They snapped at the nose bridge! The goggles are really cute and look like perfect miniatures of real ones. They fit Chrissa's face perfectly and are ok on Addy's mold. They just don't seal completely. On the classic mold, they look a little big. Those are the only molds I could try them on before they broke. So super cute piece, but I'd say display only!
The other part of the outfit I'm less-than-pleased about is the towel. It's just a cheap piece of cloth and not very towel-like at all.
The swimsuit is great. It velcroes up the back, but I didn't have any problems with snagging while putting it on. The swim cap is made out of bathing suit material as well and fits nicely, though I don't think it's possible to get all her hair under it. I do like the material choice since a more rubbery material would snag her hair.
The kick board is cute and seems pretty sturdy. It's made of a more solid foam than kick boards I'm familiar with.
The stickers are cute, but I haven't put them on my doll, so I don't know how well they work.
