Released April 2022.
At the end of a long day, Nanea can snuggle with Mele in this PJ set that includes: A button-front swingtop-style PJ top in a blue floral print with cap sleeves, patch pockets, and ribbon and lace trim at the neckline, sleeves, and pockets, A pair of floral-print PJ pants with an elastic waistband and wide legs, A satin ribbon hairbow.
SKU#: HGW77 $34
I missed out on the original Tropical Pajamas, and I think these are a nice addition to Nanea’s collection. They are part of the early April 2022 release.
The tropical floral fabric has lovely blue tones, and the swing top and wide leg bottoms look cool and comfy.
The top has four functional white buttons and buttonholes down the front and lace trim on the neckline, cap sleeves, and two patch pockets. A blue satin ribbon is woven through the trim, and the neckline and sleeves are topped off with little bows.
There’s no Velcro on either the top or the bottoms. The bottoms have an elastic waist and are very easy to put on and take off the doll.
The set also comes with a hair elastic that has a permanently attached blue satin bow (matching the ones on the pajama top). I wish there had been two of these so I could use them in braids or pigtails; I think the single one might be a bit too small to easily use with a whole head of hair, so this piece won’t get much use here.
The one additional piece that comes in this set is the trifold pamphlet that gives a bit of historical and story context. The front of this pamphlet includes a picture of Nanea in the floral pajamas next to the updated Mele (wearing a new blue ribbon collar). The historical pajamas and dogs are being marketed together in this new release, although they’re still sold separately.
The inside of the pamphlet talks about some of the ways Nanea enjoys her evenings outside with her friends before coming inside to bed. Part of her bedtime routine is brushing her teeth and washing her feet, since shoes aren’t always worn (not even to school), and that if they are worn, they’re taken off before going inside the house. I appreciate that this is addressed in the pamphlet, as there’s been a bit of a buzz about this set not having slippers, and this implies some of the reasoning behind it. The rest of the pamphlet talks about having a curfew and staying cooped inside the house during the nightly blackouts once the war has begun.
(Yes, that is a picture of Nanea cuddled in bed wearing her original Tropical Pajamas.)
I really appreciate the fairly recent reintroduction of the historical pamphlets, as well as all of the attention to detail on the outfit itself. I’m not sure whether this is all worth $34, though. I used rewards to get them for considerably less, and I think the overall quality would earn the set an A, but for $34 an additional piece (even a second hair ribbon, or maybe a toothbrush, a washcloth, or a magazine) would have been nice.
