Picnic Outfit (1998-2000)

I love this outfit, too. My pudgier PM Julian practically lives in it all summer. I've had it since 1998, and given how much wear it's gotten, it's still in perfect condition except that the hair tie has gotten a bit stretched-out. It still works fine, though; it just takes an extra twist to make it snug. The Tevas were my favorite part when I got the outfit, but for some reason, mine are a bit too large for any of my dolls -- to make the ankle strap truly secure, I have to pull it so far over that the strap's Velcro is all the way past the matching piece on the body of the shoe. They flap a bit on my dolls' feet. Fortunately, since they don't actually walk, none of the girls seem to mind too much, and the shoes still look cute. I'd give the set an A-.
