Green is not one of my favorite colors, but I do like this shade of teal green. I am not a fan of bikinis, both on myself, my dd and AG dolls, so I do prefer a one-piece swimsuit or tankini.
The good: There is no velcro to snag the fabric
The bad: There is no velcro so the top is very difficult to put on the doll.
My dd could not do it, and I thought I was going to rip the straps putting it on! It is a little easier pulling the top through the doll's legs though, than above the head. On a positive note: the darker teal shade matches McKenna's meet leggings.
The bottoms have a modest cut and fit well, especially over the behind (no indecent plumber's crack when the doll sits!)
I think I have the sarong tied a bit high, but the width/length is long enough to be tied in a lot of different ways, even criss-crossed around the chest and neck as a modified top! (will have to add a photo)
The flip flops are basic. The matching colored elastic is a nice touch and keeps the sandals from falling off the feet.
Overall: A for attractive, modest looks, C+ for ease of use because of the top.
