This outfit is adorable and gets an A from me! The outfit comes with: - A black long-sleeved T-shirt with ghost & candy corn design and the words "American Girl"
- An orange "tu-tu" style skirt, tulle over a "satin" lining and trimmed at the waist & bottom
- Yellow, orange & white striped tights
- Black plastic shoes with 3 little holes at the toes
- 2 orange hair bands
The tights are great - they look just like candy corn! They are easy to get on, fit well and you don't lose the pattern at all when they are on. The skirt has an elastic waist, no velcro or other closure, it just slides on and sits more on the hips than the waist. The t-shirt is a nice thick cotton. The design is like an iron-on type. The shoes are just okay, a little cheap feeling, but not bad enough to degrade the outfit. My only complaint is the hair bands which are very cheap. In fact, as I was putting them in my doll's hair they were actually flaking bits of orange. I also don't like that you see white on the bands instead of all orange.

This is such an adorable set! The shirt was also tight on my Tempe, who is a Mattel, but it wasn't too bad. The skirt looks like it had elastic but it didn't give much. But it did slide on easily and so far has stayed put. The stockings are just the cutest! I wish I had more to use them with! lol the shoes are very much like crocs, with the rubbery feel. I wasn't sure if I would like this or not but once I saw it in person I fell in love. Very much like what young girls might wear. I give this set a solid A.

I bought this set for the tights and they didn't disappoint. They are very cute and fit nicely.
The shoes were a surprise. I love them. They are made out of a flexible rubber and are really cute. I can see using them outside of Halloween. Very different from patent leather Mary Jane's.
The shirt is very tight on my Lanie who is a pretty skinny doll. My other complaint is that the sleeves are too short. Why can't AG just give us 3/8 of an inch more? I'd even take 1/4"!
The skirt is nice. Elastic at the waist. Tulle over a solid orange material.
I was unhappy that this outfit was sold out at the DC store long before October. Luckily, it was still available through the website with the $100 free shipping code.

This outfit is adorable! I love the ghost and candy corn on the shirt, and the tights are the color of candy corn. The hairbands and the skirt match, which is nice. The shoes are a little hard to get on, but still, I love the outfit. Here's Allie in it:

I bought this mostly for the shirt, which I would give an A to. None of my dolls have too much use for a tutu-type skirt otherwise, but I do like the festive Halloween look all together. I appreciated getting 2 orange hairbands, since Abby wears a lot of pigtails. I actually do really like the shoes just because they are different from a lot of the other options. They are obviously Croc-like, but they do have cool treads on the bottoms.

I was all about the fun tights and, to a lesser extent, the skirt. I have found the tights difficult to match with other things, however, so the skirt has gotten more use. Yay for orange!
