Petal Hoodie Outfit + Book (2009-2010)

I'm really pretty disappointed with this outfit. In the pictures at AG.com, it looks so cozy and comfy... but when I tried it on Sophie (fka Jess), I was surprised to find that it just barely fit. The pants have to sit really low on her hips in order not to be highwaters (and not in a cute cropped way, just in an awkwardly-too-short way), but when the pants sit low enough to come all the way down her legs, the sweatshirt barely skims the waistband of the pants. If I raise her arms, her tummy shows; if I sit her down, she has plumber-butt. And both the top and the pants are really tight. Finally, the velcro on the back of the sweatshirt is the super-prickly kind, and the very first time I went to take it off of Sophie, there were pulls in the knit all the way down the back where the velcro had caught it. I do think the shoes are adorable, but overall, I have to give this outfit a D+. More than most, this outfit really shows how cheaply AG has started making their clothes. :-(
