Wish I'd found this review thread before I purchased but I had been looking in the alphabetical AGOT/JLY listings...
I wanted this outfit after seeing numerous cute pictures of people's dolls wearing it. I had thought the dress was satin-y and was surprised to find it was a sort of lightweight shiny brocade, which is heavier than I was expecting. I don't like the way the bunching in the top works with this weight or really the overall drape of the dress. I'm also not too keen on how silvery the shirt is, I think it reduces the mix/match possibilities. The shoes are fine.
Fit: On my Jess the dress was a bit tight at the waist (at least over the shirt) and I don't think she's particularly plump. The shirt and shoes fit fine.
Grade: C+ because of the way the dress fabric lies, the tightness of the dress, and the silver limiting the mix-match ability of the shirt. Otherwise I like the shirt and shoes and the hair clips are fine. If I'd been lucky enough to buy it for $9 shipped as one of the other reviewers did, I'd bring it up to a B+.
Edit: I returned it.
