This outfit, while not explicitly marketed as a Hanukkah outfit, does appear in the catalogue and in store displays with the Hanukkah accessories. It includes:
The whole outfit is very sweet. The long sleeves and long skirt make it perfect for a girl with more modest tastes in clothing. The blue/silver combo continues the trend for a 2nd holiday outfit in these colors (Snowflake Ball Gown, Fancy Flower, Silver Belle).
The headband, unfortunately, includes one of the new Very Long Tags. It looks ridiculous on a doll, so I snipped it off after taking the picture. You can see in the previous photo that the headband does not perfectly fit a doll's head- which results in a small gap between the top of the head and the headband. Frankly, it looks silly. I think the outfit would have been better served with a cloth headband with an embellishment as it would stretch to fit the doll's head appropriately.
The sweater is a lovely ice blue. It's a bit snug on my #54 (released only a few months ago), who is one of the newer dolls. I wouldn't recommend it for an older, pudgier doll. The sweater is embellished with vertical lines of silver embroidery. Every other line also includes small silver sequins. The sweater opens all the way in the back for ease of dressing.
The skirt is nice and full. It includes spirals of fabric that decorate the hem of the skirt.
Pleasantly, the embellishments continue all the way around the skirt- something that AG hasn't been doing on many of its skirts/dresses.
Finally, there are sweet silver ballet flats with a little silver flower. These fit well, though they do make the feet seem a bit long.
Overall, it's a lovely outfit. The heftier price tag ($36) at least includes embellished shoes and the design going around the whole skirt.
Grade: B
