My daughter got the girl-sized version of this outfit at a thrift store, so of course she had to have one for her doll to match. As others have indicated, you really got a lot for your money with this outfit. It will not fit the chubbier PM dolls at all, but otherwise fits well and despite its flowiness, has held up well to play. Sadly, we did manage to lose the armband somewhere along the way, but that's been the only casuality.
Two shots of the outfit in its entirety, sans armband. You can see how the dress folds in on itself:
Close-up of headband. I generally have trouble getting headbands to lay properly on my banged dolls' heads, and this one was no exception. It's not as tight as some of them, though. Just hard to postion them properly. I should add that the headband is meant to be worn differently than I am showing it here, but we were always worried that it would stretch out. Plus, it doesn't fit well over bangs that way. (Showing the Meg's Guide photo for comparison purposes)
Still, it can be done:

I think the shoes are fun and could be switched out with other outfits for a funky look:
The entire outfit.
While it's not something that would appeal to me as an adult collector, I got it at the request of my then-8 year old daughter and she really likes it a lot. Taking fit, value for the money, looks, playability, and durability into account, I have to give this set a solid A.
Bonus: we've got the whole Grecian costume thing going on here:
