B: It’s cute but I like some of the other Christmas outfits better
The set comes with a cute berry-colored dress (neither cranberry nor a true red), slip on shoes, tights and a coat. The knee length dress is adorable and dressy with its bell-shaped sleeves, sparkly snowflake appliqué and ‘diamond belt’. I can definitely picture a little girl wearing this during the holiday season. I love that the dress is lined, as it makes it seem more elegant.
While the shoes are cute, they are not very practical. I have a terrible time trying to get them to stay on dolls’ feet. They fit similar to Josefina’s birthday shoes and are a little too narrow for some of the Pre-Mattel feet. The tights are typical AG tights, which tend to snag easily.
The coat is not very practical and looks too grown-up for the dolls in my opinion. It is made of faux suede with faux fur. It also has little snowflakes in the corner. I have a terrible time keeping faux fur looking nice and my coat already looks a little worn after 3 years. The coat is hardly ever used at my house.
The worst thing about the dress is that it has been known to bleed. My friend’s daughter had the dress bleed all over the doll, when they took her to a Holiday party. I always have my doll wear a slip with this dress so that it doesn’t bleed onto her cloth body. So far the slip looks alright, but the tights have a pink line.
I think the dress looks best on dark-haired dolls. I like it best on my AGT#25. It also looks cute on AGT#2, old AGT#6, AGT#10, AGT#19 and AGT#28. I'm sure it looks stunning on AGT#26 too, but I don't have her yet. I don’t care for the dress on my redheads (#5 and #17) or the blond curly haired dolls, but that could just be me.
