From the AG website:
My American Girl® dolls will love this sweet look! Outfit includes:
A crinkle-chiffon dress that's fully lined, featuring petal sleeves, a pretty sash that ties in back, and sequined embroidery at the hem
A jeweled barrette to pin back her hair
Turquoise ruffle-toe shoes for the finishing touch
Includes a "Real" rectangle charm for the doll's charm-keeper necklace
This is a very cute dress. Some may thinks it looks "too young", but I think it is sweet! It looks pretty on a lot of dolls.
The bodice is lined and the skirt lining is only attached at the waist, so it forms a "slip". The belt is sewn down at the sides and can be tied in a cute bow in the back. The embroidery is very well done, but it is only on the front of the dress. I believe the velcro is the "non-snag" type, as I did not have any problems with it catching on the fabric.
The barrette is sturdy and holds a fair amount of hair. I can't tell if it is metal or metal colored plastic, but it does not seem like it would break easily.
The shoes are . . . o.k. I like the color, but not the style. They seem to be missing something - a strap (?) maybe - something that would make them look more like dressy shoes and less like slippers.
Although the set does not come with tights, I tried a pair of off-white ones with the outfit. I must say I prefer the look of the outfit this way to the look without tights.
So overall, I give this outfit and A. If tights were included, the grade would be A+.
