Vacation Outfit (PwP 2010)

I have mixed feelings about this outfit. I think the embroidery on the shirt is reminiscent of something one would find in the Norton McNaughton section of the misses department. I'm not dissing that, but it seems a bit much for a 10 year old to wear. The colors are pretty enough but really, I think I'd prefer a screenprint and some glitter for age-appropriate authenticity (I can't believe I just wished for glitter).

Plus I call fit issues: the shirt we have here is best suited for the slimmest of dolls. Shown below on an average-girth 2007ish era doll, and you can see how it doesn't quite close in the back. So there's really no option but to tuck it in, lest you're asking for a wardrobe malfunction. The neckline seems a bit wider than it needs to be, too.

I guess you get what you pay for.

The rest of the outfit is terrifically well made, though, with some nice details.

B from me overall.
