Wilderness Outfit + Book (2009-2010)

I purchased this outfit with the Cyber Monday sale price. I don't get alot of the JLY outfits but this was to be for Jess. I just tried it on yesterday and had the same difficulty as others have noted with the shirt. It would be virtually impossible for a child to get this shirt on her doll. It took me quite a bit of time working the shirt over the hands and I was afraid I would rip the cuffs. It would've been a better design to have the wrist portion open and closing with velcro. The pants barely fit over Jess's undies so I guess a doll must go commando to have a good fit. I'd also have thought that if someone was truly trekking through the wilderness or playing outdoors when it was cool enough to wear insulated pants, that they'd also be wearing socks. IMO the outfit should have come with socks. I'll give this one a B because it does have several pieces and a cute design, but is not easy to put on even my slim Mattel Jess.
