I do adore this outfit - so sporty! I love that it is such a different color from the rest of her collection. The blouse has tucking detail on the collar and has a 'pouter pigeon' front - so fashionable in the early 1900's! Although others have said the bloomers were skimpy, I think mine are actually a little on the too-big side.
My only objection to the set is that the elastic on the hat is white. It should be a dark color, like Sam's hair, so that it could be hidden. I took it off and colored it with a Sharpie, then sewed it back on. You could also replace the elastic with a new dark colored one if it bothers you.
Edit: I finally have pictures! Since I first posted this, I've noticed a problem with the spats - they stretch out of shape if not handled carefully. Still love the outfit, though.
