Comfy Camping Outfit

[Lady Lena]

When she’s not working in the animal clinic, Kira hangs around the bush camp with her new friend, Alexis, and the scientists conducting research at the sanctuary. She can wear this outfit while sitting by the fire pit or enjoying barbecue cooked by Alexis’s dad. It includes:

A yellow knit tee Kira can layer under her jumper
A purple woven jumper with wide legs, a tie at the waist, and embroidered details at the neck and cuffs
A pair of slip-on purple sandals with matching embroidery
A two-color knotted headband

Price: $32

I ordered this set a few weeks ago when my January rewards came in (along with the wombat set and #86), and I have very mixed feelings about it.

So, the pros:

• the COLORS are absolutely beautiful!
• actual embroidery on the jumpsuit
• sandals have knit elastic back straps, so less likely to snap than some previous flip flops
• the top and jumpsuit are two pieces
• the top is very versatile; it's a pretty shade of yellow and a basic tee that can be mixed and matched

and the cons:

• the jumpsuit is viscose - and if you don't know what viscose is, all you need to know is it wrinkles more easily than any other fabric I've ever owned, except maybe linen
• the flip flops did not fit my 86's feet; the actual soles are too small
• the headband took me, a grown adult who has styled doll hair for years, a full two minutes to put on my 86 - and seeing as Kira is also a Josefina mold, I'm not granting leniency for 86's big head. it has very little stretch

You can see the fabric wrinkling easily here:


The shoes fitting poorly:



And the headband:


When all's said and done, I wish I'd gotten the casual outfit instead, but since I had $50 in rewards and I do like enough about it, I'm not going to go through the hassle of returning it.
I am going to keep the jumpsuit hung up though, to avoid wrinkles.

I'd probably rate the set a C+

I agree with much of what was written in Lady Lena’s review above, so I’m just going to add a few additional thoughts and photos.

This outfit was part of Kira’s debut collection in 2021, and it’s still available in late 2022. The price is now $34.



This is what it looks like on Kira:



Both the shirt and the jumper have a single strip of Velcro up the back.



I really like the lettuce edge sleeves on the shirt and the embroidery on the jumper.



The pattern on the shoes is cute, although I’m generally not a fan of thong sandals on AG feet.



Here’s the headband on Kira. As noted, it has very little stretch, and it’s by far the most difficult part of this outfit to put on.



One final photo showing some of the mix and match potential: Here’s Kira pairing the shirt and sandals from the Comfy Camping Outfit with the white shorts from Kira’s Adopt Don’t Shop Outfit. (It’s topped with the bucket hat from the World By Us Chill Twill & Tie Dye Outfit - it’s not part of Kira’s collection, but I love how the yellow and purple in the hat complement her pieces so well).
