Released August 2022.
Claudie has big dreams of having a special talent all her own, just like her friends in the boardinghouse. Includes:
A pair of jumpsuit pajamas with a purple flower print, ruffles at the hems, and mock buttons on the front
A pair of faux-fur bunny slippers
A faux-silk head wrap, just like the one Claudie's mother would put on her at night after she rubbed a bit of pomade into her scalp
This cute set came home from the store with Claudie. Here’s the AG description, along with some additional thoughts and photos of each piece.

SKU#: HJR08 $36
Includes:
A pair of jumpsuit pajamas with a purple flower print, ruffles at the hems, and mock buttons on the front - These are some incredibly cute (and terribly impractical) pajamas. The yellow color is gorgeous on Claudie, and I love the ruffled hem on the sleeves, the tiny but functional chest pocket, the sweet Peter Pan collar, and the faux button placket down the front with its cute yellow buttons.
The pajamas are a one-piece jumpsuit with a gathered waist and faux belt. I moved the belt up to show off the gathered waist, but the belt naturally falls over this section to cover it. I’m also including a photo of the back, where it closes with a single Velcro strip.
The bottom hems on the legs are also gathered.
A pair of faux-fur bunny slippers - Okay, I have mixed thoughts on these. I do think they’re cute, but I’m not a fan of how they’re made. The faux fur doesn’t seem like a great quality, and even before putting them on Claudie, I was questioning the likelihood that she would have slippers like these. (White is generally a poor choice for slippers, and wouldn’t she be more likely to keep her feet warm with socks or knit slippers? I don’t know.) I actually had some trouble getting one of the slippers on, and I don’t think she stood super well in them either. So overall not a fan, but I do think they’re cute.
A faux-silk head wrap, just like the one Claudie's mother would put on her at night after she rubbed a bit of pomade into her scalp - Even before I realized how adorable the yellow looks on Claudie, I knew I was going to get this set for the silk head scarf, and I’m not disappointed. Even though the AG version is polyester, the head scarf adds important realism and is a great addition. The lavender head scarf coordinates perfectly with the lavender floral design on the pajamas, and it’s tied up in a permanent knot/bow with stretchy elastic to help get it over her head. I corralled up her hair in the back first (just leaving out the two ringlets for show), and held the back down while stretching the front over her hairline, and I think she’s cute as can be, ready for bed.
Like all the historical sets now, this comes with a trifold pamphlet connecting Claudine’s story with the pieces in this set. Here’s one more photo of the pieces, along with the pages of the trifold.
My overall grade for this set is a B+, which reflects the mixed feelings I have about the slippers. Although cute, the grade would have been higher with different or better fitting slippers.
