The Last Chance sale sold me me this outfit for my daughter's Bitty Twin.
My problem with this outfit is that it can't seem to decide if it is a fancy dress or more on the casual side, and I think AG could have done without the foofy flowers since it tips the balance toward casual. I mean, they are pretty enough if you like fabric flowers, but the fight with the fabric and t-shirt. I agree with other posters that the separate t-shirt is a highlight, but I think the sleeves of the shirt are a shade too short to comfortably cover the fabric arms on most Bitty Twins. It's a nice shade of green, at least. I was worried about potential problems with the cut and pleating on the jumper but overall I think it is a nicely done, although I agree that it would have been nicer with an extra tier on the skirt.
I think the flimsy shoes are completely impossible for little hands to work. They don't stay closed and thus fall off a lot. The Fail is extra strong because of the weird placement of AG tags on each shoe. The headband worked so long as it was positioned just so in our short-haired girl's hair, but like most AG headbands it is not really functional for holding back hair.
All in all, I think this outfit merits a B- grade because of some strange design issues and flaws. It was worth the $12 deep discount price before it was retired, so that mitigates some of my complaining.
