This outfit was worn by Nellie in the DVD Samantha: An American Girl Holiday. Released in 2004, retired with archival in 2008.
Pajamas like these were all the rage in Nellie's day. They feature delicate flower embroidery and matching slippers with lavender pompons.
I love this outfit. The satin is nice and heavy. The embroidery is purple, green and yellow and is quite lovely. The shirt actually buttons, no velcro, and the buttons are sewn on tightly. (Although it is relatively difficult to get the buttons buttoned.) The slippers are kind of an eh; they seem kind of old-lady-ish with the hard soles and pompoms, and don't seem very comfortable. But they're still cute.
My only objection is that this outfit is not historically accurate. It's far too early for girls to be wearing pajamas!
Overall: B+
