Kimono & Slippers (RETIRED)

[guitardayle]

This set was released in 1993 and retired in 2008 with the first archival of Samantha's collection.

Samantha's bathrobe is a Japanese-inspired kimono, which was very fashionable in 1904. It's edged in ivory satin that matches the tiny nosegays on the soft rose fabric. Her hand-crocheted slippers have looped "turkey work" trim and tiny satin bows.


The Kimono and Slippers is a wonderful set. It's made of super soft satin and is of wonderful quality! The slippers are hand-crocheted with tiny satin bows. Samantha loves to slip into her soft robe and slippers.


Price: $22
Grade: A+

I have the Mattel version, and I'm not crazy about it--the fabric has a weird "hand" (feels rough and easy to snag), and the rob itself is pretty shapeless. B-

The robe ONLY looks good with Samantha's nightgown, and as far as I'm concerned, it's ridiculously priced. I mean, really, $42 for a sleep set? For an 18" tall person?! Also, the booties are cute, but impossible to stand a doll up in. They're unbalanced on the bottom and slippery because they're just knitted slippers. They also slip off pretty easy.

I do love the robe, though, as an addition to Sam's nightgown. It's very soft and satiny...I'd love one for myself, I have to say. I give the set a solid B.

Is it me just me that the slippers look yellow on Ebay pics? I thought they were supposed to be white.

They are off-white and could possibly look yellow in photographs.

Very cute! The robe is a silky material and has a nice floral pattern. The slippers look really knit. However like others have said they do tend to slip off Sam's feet. Oddly, the right one is fine, but the left one seems a little big. Not sure what's with that.

The slippers are very cute and I love that they look handmade. The robe I really don't care for at all.
