I bought my Summer Outfit after its retirement, and it was sold without the lace cap and slippers. But even with just the pieces I got, I cannot recommend this outfit enough!

It looks so beautiful on Felicity, it makes her look very elegant. The colors are simple but work very well together. The dress and sash especially seem to be made with sturdy material that really holds up.

It's interesting some of the above comments mention this outfit being very snug on their PM Felicity's, because I think it actually fits perfect on my Beforever Felicity. A lot of the PM clothes are very baggy on my BF doll, but I think the sash really helps the overall fit. So if you have a BF or even Mattel Felicity, I think this would fit them perfectly!

If you can find this outfit for a good price secondhand, I would say get it!

sailormolly great pics! Gets me even more excited to receive my order!

Did any of you who have the accessories succeeded to have Claudie hold her tin?

The Blue Beauty Topaz outfit is part of the special edition Birthstone outfit collection and is the outfit for the month of December.

From the website:"Shimmery-blue and cool as ice, this blue topaz birthstone-inspired ensemble is a dream for December birthdays and streetwear-chic fashion fans.

Premium features:
A blue topaz-colored outfit featuring a satin puffer jacket with a collar and rib-knit trim, a knit tank top with gem details, and a printed ombre skirt with a side slit and gems along the waistband
A satin ribbon choker with a center faux-blue-topaz gem
Also includes:
A pair of barrettes with three gems on each and a pair of blue platform low-top sneakers with gems, striped soles, and glittery toes
A guide detailing personality traits associated with each gemstone and showcasing all outfits in the collection."

Retail cost is $52.

Thoughts: (Note: My #24, Susie, is modeling this outfit). You get a lot of nice pieces in this set that can be used for mixing and matching. The top is a tank top so useable for warmer weather without the jacket, as well as cooler weather with the jacket. The ombre effect on the skirt is more subtle than the ombre of the Amazing Amethyst dress. I kind of wish the slit didn't go up quite so high as it lands just about at the hip socket, however it's still a nice skirt overall. The barrettes are metal with plastic gems and look to be nicely made. While the sneakers are not my style, I still think they're nice overall. They're more suited for outings such as going to the movies or the mall rather than for outdoorsy activities like jogging or hiking. The gems are plastic and the choker is just a faux gem sewn onto a ribbon that velcros around the neck. The biggest downfall of this outfit, for me, is the lack of zipper on the jacket. While I don't always zip up my winter jackets, I like having the option to do so this jacket is just screaming for a zipper to complete it. If it was a vest with a long-sleeve top, I could see forgoing the zipper. Overall I give this outfit an A-/B+. I am going to attempt to sew a zipper onto the jacket.

Comparing Blue Beauty Topaz jacket (left) to the 2013 Puffy Jacket (right):

Yes, it is lined.

I have 3 CYO's, all with the Jess/Face C mold. It's not the best picture, but below is all 3 of them in the outfits they came with.

The first one is the only one I ordered directly from AG, and there is a better picture below. Her eyes are light brown and skin tone 25. She has long straight black hair and freckles.

The other two were from the 2022 online benefit sale. I actually rewigged the middle one with #38's hair as I always wanted a blue eyed freckled Jess as a custom (and this was before #110 came out). I don't know their exact details due to the benefit sale, but the middle one has light blue eyes and freckles. The one on the end has medium straight brown hair, hazel eyes, and freckles. Both are darker in tone than my #88, so I'm not sure on their exactly what their skin tones are.

I just received this set yesterday, and it's delightful!
The cookies look too much like play food for my preference, but everything else is adorable.
I love the little tin, and the plastic yo-yo has a nice wood grain texture;it's surprisingly heavy.
My favourite pieces are the bunny and the Velveteen Rabbit book, which has the whole story! ❤️

Claudie’s Travel Accessories were released in stores on July 26th (2023), and on the AG website on August 3rd. Here’s the website description and some additional thoughts and photos of each item.

Claudie is so excited for her road trip to visit family in Georgia. She’s all set for the journey with a suitcase full of travel necessities and favorite care items.



SKU#: HPN42 $40

An authentic 1920s-style brown suitcase with a faux-leather look and a gold-hued interior that holds all of Claudie’s travel essentials - This light brown suitcase feels like it’s made of hard vinyl. It has little grooves on the outside that add texture, with tan plastic corners, a tan plastic latch, and a black plastic handle that can swing from side to side. All of these seem fairly sturdy. The outside dimensions, not including the handle, are about 5.75” by 4.25” x 2”, and since each side of the suitcase is about 1/4 inch thick, I would assume the inside dimensions would be reduced by about 1/2 inch in each direction. Overall, I think it’s a nice, good quality, sturdy piece, and I really like that the entire accessory set can easily fit inside of it. My only complaint would be that I wish it had real hinges, instead of folding plastic ones, since there’s no way to prop the suitcase open without the doll holding it. (Also, not a complaint but just worth noting that the doll can’t actually carry the suitcase, as it’s too heavy/unwieldy, in addition to the handle not being at the right angle for AG hands.) Grade: B+


The size of Claudie’s suitcase compared to her hatbox.


You can see the texture of the outside here. The latch closes by swinging it up over the knob on the other side.


The yellow speckled plastic interior, and the plastic folding hinges.

A pretend bar of Madam C.J. Walker perfumed soap and a tin of Madam C.J. Walker’s “Wonderful Hair Grower” hair crème—part of a line of beauty products created especially for Black women’s skin and hair by Harlem entrepreneur and salon owner Madam C.J. Walker - I love that these two items are included, and both are done so well! The “Complexion and Toilet Soap” comes in an orange cardboard box that has the same black and beige design on both sides. The scented bar of soap is removable and a little more than 1.25” long. The “Wonderful Hair Grower” is in a yellow plastic circular container, about 1.25” in diameter. The top shows the name, a picture, the price (50 cents), and notes that’s manufactured in Indianapolis, while the bottom advertises that it’s “Wonderfully good for lifeless hair and dry scalps. Guaranteed to nourish and stimulate weakened hair growth.” The container opens to show a pink colored cream. Grade: A


The soap box, and the top and bottom of the hair cream.


The soap and cream inside.

A fabric toiletry pouch with a zipper closure, a folding faux-wood toothbrush that Claudie can hold, and a pretend bottle of rose tooth powder - I really like how the pouch can hold all of the toiletries that came in this set. It’s mostly pink and cream color stripes, with just a little orange and aqua, and it measures about 3.25” x 2.25” x 1.25” (but since it’s fabric, it can squish down or expand a bit in different directions). The “Rose Tooth Powder” is in a clear plastic square-bottomed bottle with attached lid, orange label, and pink powder inside. The toothbrush is a yellowish plastic folding one. At first I didn’t think mine would straighten all the way out, as it seemed to catch and I thought I might break it by forcing it, but eventually I forced it anyway and it’s fine. I like these pieces but wish there was additional information on them in the accompanying pamphlet (like there is about the C.J. Walker products), since I don’t know anything about the history and don’t remember them from the book. Grade: A-




The toiletries bag fits nicely in Claudie’s suitcase.

A butterfly-shaped faux tortoise-shell hair comb - Like the description says, this plastic tortoise-shell hair comb is in the shape of a butterfly. It matches the butterfly design in the soap and is a little more than 1.5 inches long and a little less than 1.5 inches wide at it’s widest part. I think it’s a nice addition, but the plastic is a little thin and I’ll need some practice using it in Claudie’s hair. Grade: B



A handheld mirror with a faux-wood frame that Claudie can hold - This cute aqua- colored mirror has an interesting shape, with a brown design on one side and a reflective circular mirror on the other. I especially appreciate the plastic band on the back that allows Claudie to hold the mirror! Grade: A





Not mentioned in the description but still an important piece worthy of mention is the informational pamphlet that accompanies the set. This trifold pamphlet includes a short summary of Claudie’s second book, in which she travels from Harlem to Georgia, and also highlights the history of Madame C.J. Walker. I think these pamphlets are a great addition to the historical outfit and accessory sets.











Overall, I really like all of the detail and thought that went into this set, as well as the playability and value. It’s an easy A for me.

These are so nice to display a special outfit alongside what a doll is wearing. The are nicely made with a wooden base. A+

I have the original violin and love it. I'm now thinking the guitar will be perfect in a 1970- 80s time frame especially for a beach scene. It seems to be well made and realistic.

The linzer cookies are by far the best thing in this set. I'm going to be hunting them down on the secondary market for a Christmas display.

Quick update, I got up the nerve to keep trying at Jasmine’s earring, and the earrings can come out. It’s just a bit thicker on the end and that is how it stays in.

I’m not sure if AG meant for people to be constantly changing out her earrings or not though. They are also metal! They take a bit of pull, but come out pretty easily.

This set was first available in conjunction with a book signing on July 26th, 2023, and officially became available on August 2nd.

From favorite traditions to special surprises, Claudie delights in the joys of Christmas. Features:
A plush Velveteen Rabbit and a doll-sized The Velveteen Rabbit storybook—a gift Claudie might have spied in the window of Hart and Company, Inc., and hoped to unwrap on Christmas morning
A metal cookie tin that holds three pretend Christmas cookies with fruit filling—a special holiday treat from Angelo’s Bakery
A pretend handwritten postcard from Claudie to her grandmother in Georgia
A working yo-yo (known as a quiz in Claudie’s time) that was a Christmas gift from Mama


These worth the price and why I fell in love with Pleasant Company. Reproduction mini antiques! (For the most part, in this set). The accessories so cute and tiny. The tiny bunny feels soft and velvety. His tag needs to be cut off because it is WAY too long and ridiculous. The paperback book includes illustrations. The tin is metal with a floral art nouveauish design. The cookies are HUGE and plastic. They barely fit in the tin. The little Christmas card is from Claudie to her grandma in Georgia sending snow from Harlem. The yoyo is big and heavy. My mom asked how she could hold that because it's so big! It comes with a pamphlet that tells a story just like the Pleasant Co. pamphlets!

Pictures coming soon
