Well, add me to the chorus above. I love this set. Mine just came in the mail this morning. Really pretty - a definite A. I wish the fruit were not joined but that is only a minor flaw.

I just purchased two of the middy dresses off ebay and I am absolutely in love with them. I am using them on Addy and Cécile as their school uniforms because I once saw an old picture circa late 1800s/early 1900s of African-American school girls attending Catholic school in New Orleans all wearing white dresses similar to this - minus the navy insignia.

I saw this at AGPNY last week and agree that it is really one of the cuter PJ sets. I did not see the slipper/mini Coconut set, which looks just adorable from the pictures above. May have to go back.

I got this for the purse, which I love but the little socks and tennis shoes are just too adorable for words. A

I agree that this set is really cute but I think $28 would have been sufficient. The boots were a little hard to get on at first but after a couple of tries (I guess stretching them a little) they went on fine. The umbrella is adorable but even with the little plastic strap it is still difficult for the doll to hold.

I purchased this yesterday at AGPNY. I really like it. The sweater is really a beautiful deep purple color. The only thing I don't like is that the leggings/tights are a little short as I plan to pair this with the rainy day set that is pictured so often with this outfit. For that I give it an A-.
ETA: I actually think the outfit when paired with the rain set looks better without the leggings.

I love Rebecca's bed. I have seen it in person at AGPNY and feel it is worth the money. I hate gold, but it does not look bad to me on this bed. It is heavy metal and the bedding is so soft. Ihad purchased Samantha's bed for a friend's daughter's Christmas present a few years ago and did not feel it was very good quality. Of all the historical beds that have been made, I like this one and Cécile's the most. Hope this helps.

I just received mini Ivy in the mail today. I love her. Her hair is so smooth. She seems to be a little thicker in the waist than my mini Kaya and mini Addy, but she's still really cute.

I totally agree with askmkids. I saw this dress at AGPNY two days ago and I fell in love with it. Very well made and beautiful color. I was not prepared to purchase it then as it was not in the budget, but I am planning to get it next payday.
Really, really stunning.

Ca you talk a bit about the hair elastics? They seem a bit big? Would they work on the dolls with short hair like 28? The ones on the doll in greenchilesupergirl's post are not the ones that come with the outfit. Those are very small.

I saw the Cécile doll yesterday at AGPNY and I must say I was taken aback by just how lovely she is. I say this because I was never particularly fond of the Sonali mold. But she is a gorgeous girl and so are all of her items, I mean there was nothing that I did not like. For the first time since becoming involved with AG, I find myself seriously considering collecting for a Historical (I've been a modern girl to date). She definitely gets an A+

I got this today and am very pleased. Very nice quality. It is pricey, probably because of the weight of the birdcage. I still give it a solid "A".

I just received this in the mail today from an ebay seller. I am so relieved because so many people in the review section said the outfit was too snug and the arms on the sweater too short. But I loved this outfit and decided to go ahead and get it anyway since I saw it brand new for a reasoanble price. Everything fits very well and the arms are not short. I am very pleased with how it looks against my doll's skin tone - she is a customized #44 with brown eyes (medium skin). I also like how the snowflake pattern under the bottom of the boots will leave actual imprints if you take the doll out in actual snow. Can't wait! This was a factory resale item, which I just read in another thread are not supposed to be resold but - oh well. I give it a definite A.

I purchased this set last night and even though I love everything in it - it is not worth $28 - $24 maybe.

I have this set and love it. I know everyone hates plastic, but overall it's not bad. The plastic is heavy and sturdy. I love it because this was my era and we had a dinette set similar to this in the bright yellow color. I use it in my cafeteria scene for my dolls' school.

I purchased the newer tub for my niece. It is a lot smaller than the previous version, which I actully like. It will take up less space and go well with her "Mommy gotta go" bathroom set that features a toilet and sink connected. The soap dish doesn't fit well so I took it off completely and superglued it to the wall in the shower of Lanie's camper. Overall I like it and I like the pale pink bubbles better than the blue. My only complaint is there seems to be less bubbles. You can still see some of the dolls private parts. Eek!

I just purchased this but I think it looks nicer without the turtleneck. I love the searing blue color but I don't care for the silver shoes. I plan to replace those, still it was a good buy for a PWP.

Even though I don't care for the outfit, when I saw the accessories, I just had to get them. The little box is just too cute. The bracelet is very classy and the "Twas the Night before Christmas" book is now the featured book on display in my Library scene. I'm going to pair the fur purse with last year's holiday PWP giveway, which was the ddep red sweater, mittens and headband. The silver loop earrings are so cute, that I've decided to get Kai's ears pierced so she can wear them!

I went after work to AGPNY and purchased this outfit. I love it. THe shoes are my favorite and the little bow on the back is really cute. I'm using the outfit on my Karito Kid doll, so the pants look like capris, which IMHO look better as capris. The sweater is thick and soft.
Grade: A+

I don't like writing negative reviews, but this set isn't even worth the $10. The finger nail stickers don't stick! The toenail stickers were a little better, but there is no way these stickers can be used again. They are a pain to take off and usually tear or bend so that they can't be used. Not at all impressed. Save your money. The little cardboard emory boards are cute but are not sturdy and can end up bent.
Grade: F

I absolutley love this. It is made of wood and is very well-made and heavy. The mirror is real not those fake plastic ones where the image is distorted.
Dispite the pretty pink and green colors, the storage bins are hard cardboard like the storage bins that went under the camp bunk beds. I took them out altogether and use the entire tower as a bookshelf.
The earring tree is some type of foam rubber with holes in it to place the earrings. The tray is plastic.
This item looks wonderful in my doll's room and I am glad I purchased it. I don't feel I wasted my money.
Grade A+

Rolling Suitcase ID card Luggage tag Travel wallet two faux plane tickets pretend passport travel stickers
$28
Unfortunately, I do not have pictures but this is my favorite out of all the things I ordered in this release. The suitcase is like the newer ones made today of the extremely hard plastic (forgive me I don't know what they call it). It rolls very easily and the handle comes up. The inside of the suitcase has a mesh pocket that can hold smaller items, just like a real suitcase.
The luggage tage and travel wallet are made to look and feel as it is leather and is very soft to the touch. I simply adore the little travel stickers. The bigger ones can be placed on the suitcase itself and then there are stickers with just the country names that can be placed in the passport.
I've reviewed all of the other suitcases made by AG and I really think this is the best. I just wish it had come with a travel pillow like the one in the Our Generation suitcase that came out earlier this year.
Grade: A++
You will not regret purchasing this.

My doll wears her capelet open like in the last picture. This way it doesn't look so tight and confining. My only disappointment is that the boots are hard to close as you can also see from the photo. I wish it had been a blazer as opposed to a capelet but it is still cute.

I must say of all the MyAG cats, I like Praline the best. Has Ginger been retired/archived/discontinued?
I also loved Marisol's Siamese cat Rascal.

I got this locker off ebay for $125. It was well worth it. It's very sturdy and really does hold a lot of stuff as the pictures above show. This is exactly how school lockers in the 1970s looked. A++

I have it and I like everything except the molded candy in the bowl. The pumpkin pie is my favorite. And yes, the pie plates are plastic. Everything is plastic except the Halloween gift or candy bags.

I love this set, particularly the purse, which I had one very similar at that age. I use the purse with several of my doll's outfits. It's faux suede and really soft.

I've seen this outfit in the store and whereas I love the colors, I do not like the style. It seems more like a baby doll dress - something the Bitty Twins would wear as opposed to the 8-12 age range the MyAG's are supposed to represent.

I purchased the outfit yesteday. I love it but I didn't like the blouse layered under it so my doll wears it without the blouse and it looks great. I think had the dress been totally sleeveless, and the blouse been a turtleneck it would have looked better underneath. But I did not like it layered under cap sleeves. However, overall, it is really cute and I give it an A.

I have the set and absolutely love it. The tacos feel real. I just adore the juice drink bottles.
