From American Girl's website:
Brew up some fun this Halloween or any day during dress-up time in this shiny, spooky witch costume that includes:
A black rainbow-foil dress with a mesh neckline, an eerie-teal satin underskirt, and attached belt with a shiny buckle
A black rainbow-foil hat with a blue ribbon around it
A pair of fingerless gloves
A pair of black glitter boots and a pair of striped socks
A broom with a handle for the doll to hold and ride off into the night
SKU#: HBJ23
$38
Right off the bat, the shoes are HARD plastic, with elastic lacing. I'm a bit afraid to try them on a doll honesty. So that's a deduction.
The foil print is stretchy so that should allow some give for more chubby dolls. The belt is also elastic so that's a plus. The the solid colored skirt is a really nice "taffeta" like material.
The gloves and hat are made from the same stretchy fabric as the dress so dressing shouldn't be too difficult. The hat does have a double lining that makes it feel stiff, but it shouldn't affect fit much. There is no chin strap, so it sits firmly on the head.
The socks are a cute "witchy" addition and hopefully will help to pull the boots on.
The broom is good quality and the bristles have a weight to them, which is interesting. There's an attached clear holder to help your doll hold her broom.
Grade: B. Just becuase of the boots and price.
Overall, this is a really cute costume, even if I am biased towards AG costumes, lol.
For the $38 price tag it's okay. The boots really detract me from it. I wish they had been fabric just for ease of play. Adults probably wont have a lot of issues, but for the target market or younger, meh....could be different.
I lucked out and didn't pay full price for this thanks to rewards and such, so if you want to hold off and do that I would. Witch costumes sell out quick with AG Costumes, so you might want to go ahead a grab this while you can.
