Mattel version
My costume was purchased from AG last week. It has a leotard and skirt like described above. I actually like the material it is made of and don't think it is too stiff. The leotard feels like a real gymnastics leotard and the piping isn't exactly just gray. It has small flecks of silver in it; I will try to take some close-up pictures. The star is sewn on well and is very shiny. The skirt is well-made and not too short. It also fits my Molly pretty well (she is transitional). The socks are thick and stretchy; I like them better than her meet socks. The tap shoes are the best part of the outfit! The taps on the bottom are real metal and the "leather" (I don't think it's really leather) is very shiny. The only disappointment is the crown. It is made of thin paper that seems like cardstock. I was worried it would get crushed, so I stored it in my bookcase. It's also difficult to get it to sit on Molly's hard properly. I finally did it, but only with the help of many bobby pins. This outfit is an important part of Molly's stories (even if she didn't get to be Miss Victory) and I think it is a good addition to her collection. A+

The socks are similar to the ones with Molly's rollerskating outfits, but shorter. Rollerskating sock on the left and Miss Victory sock on the right:
