I love these shirts. I have six--3 long sleeves, 3 short sleeves. I find that they are great for the layered look. I particularly love the white long sleeve under a short sleeve shirt, mostly because that is how I wear my t-shirts in the winter!

I purchased the Wilderness Outfit on Monday afternoon in AGPNY. Anyway, I didn't bring a doll with me, so I didn't have a chance to try it on until I got home. Well, I was trying to get the shirt on--and one side I was able too, but the other side I couldn't (Even other people tried!) I ended up taking the shirt off, and realized that part where the hand goes through, on the right side was a good 1/4-1/2 inch smaller the other side. I was so disappointed, because I was looking forward to that outfit, especially the top.
I would double check yours to see if the same problem has occurred.

The tank design is stickered---not like the flowers on the jacket, which are embroidered.

Well--I received this package yesterday--but wasn't around until about 10 or so at night to open it, and thus no real pics. This is what I would a perfect "code" outfit. I am not crazy about paying $30 (full price for it) but it does make the transition nicely into $20 after the 10 dollar off 30 codes. So, honestly--I'd rather it be $30 then $28. The fun stuff: The book it comes with talks about yoga for girls--which is really interesting, because where I live, lots of little kids-boys and girls are taking yoga. (They have child yoga classess at Y). They give hints on what to wear, and they said that shoes aren't required for it. (which I guess is why they added no shoes to this). The book also states to wear loose fitting clothing--and give about 5 different poses girls can do. (with actual photos of girls doing them correctly--so you can see what they look like). They talk in the book about breathing as well. I think this book is a great introduction for a girl (or boy!) who is interested in yoga. It is very beginnerish--so it is easy to understand. I really enjoy the outfit. First off, because the book stated to wear loose clothes, the items in this outfit, are not tight at all. I don't think this will have a problem fitting on the chubbier PM dolls. It consists of a tank top of dark purple, with a design at the bottom, a lavenderish sweat jacket--with a zipper up the front and deep purple embroidered (real--no pseudo embroidered like Kirsten) flowers on the sides and a deep, deep, purple yoga pants, which are loose on the legs. They look a lot like mine--except that mine are black. I can easily see using this pieces with mix 'n match potentional--even the tops with jeans. The only thing that has velcro on it is the tank top. I do wish they included a bag for the yoga mat but oh well. The missing of a bag for a yoga mat and no shoes are the biggest offenders in this outfit. Still--because the price is $30-I will rate it at an A (because 24 w/shipping seems much more reasonable when you include it with those minor lacking details) However, if it was $28 dollars--and did not fit into the code so nicely, I would have rated it a B. Moral of the story: If you want this outfit--get it while the Chrissa code is still good! -Jordyn

Well...my cousin's birthday gift got delivered today--so before my parents picked up, I decided to snap a few pictures. I am sorry for the quality of the pictures--they lighting isn't the best. And of course, I got her when it was dark out--so I couldn't use natural light.
Tomorrow, if I have time, I may take them outside--but right now, Gwen is back in the box. My point of reference is #12 that I was bought about a year and a half ago, so I don't have comparison's of a revised #12 (did they revise #12?) Personally, they are one in the same--which doesn't stop me from wanting a Gwen. But that would mean that I could use #12 in an eye swap with Ruthie to give Ruthie brown eyes and then my #12 would be like the retired gray eyed/blonde girl which I always coveted. But I digress.
From the front: As you can see, the main difference in the front is the length of the bangs. Gwen seems to have the feathered bangs--I believe. They have the same eye color and face mold.
From the back w/the hair up:
The hair seems to be the same exact shade to my eyes-maybe a smidge darker, but that is if you really squint and pretend that you want the shades to be different.
From the back w/the hair down:
Again, it seems to be roughly the same length. The big minor difference here-is Gwen's hair is ever so slightly layered--and #12's is the same exact length. #12 wig seems to be a bit fuller--however, Gwen does has a very nice thick wig as well.
The main difference to tell if you have a Gwen or a Gwen imposter (#12) on Ebay or anywhere else is this:
On #12 you can see how far back the bangs start, the classic "pie wedge" bangs--and on Gwen they are a lot closer to the forehead.
Obviously, since I don't have a revised #12--I can't identify major differences. I do love Gwen--just wish there was some huge difference between her and 12. A face full of freckles like the actress would be nice!
Hope this helps!

I actually only took pics of her hair---the lighting in our place is terrible--and it is super cold out--my toes could only stand being outside for so long!
Anyway, I know that people have seen many pics of her face--so you know what she looks like. And there were lots of pics of her hair as well.
Well to me her hair is a cross between Nicki's and #24-just different colors obviously. My #24 has very silky, soft and full hair while my Nicki's is a bit drier and thinner, but very, very curly. Sonali's has the fullness and texture of #24, but more curls--similiar to Nicki's. (My #24 may have had that curly hair--but well, after about 4 years of brushing and such, the hair may have relaxed into looser waves.)

I have had no problem with my Mia standing with her boots. However, because of the color of the boots-I just don't care for them. My Mia has been able to stand on the coffee table since yesterday evening (even with the cats running around) with the boots on. Here are the pics:

I have it; but don't care for it. However, my husband bought it for me as a gift for our anniversary, and he was so PROUD of it-I didn't have the heart to tell him it was ultimately won the Mr. Cheese award in cheesiness I do like the apron though. Plus the price tag is a bit much; I might have been more willing to put up with its cheesiness if it was 16 or 18 dollars. -Jordyn

I received this outfit as part of my return order. I am so pleased with it. First off, it is a great mix and match outfit! This outfit comes with: hot pink Coconut shirt, khaki pants, sneakers, four star clips and a book. For the price of 24 dollars it is a great deal!
All of the pieces are great for mixing and matching-I love the belt that loops through the pants. The pants are also able to fold up into shorts.
I would definately buy this outfit, not just as a return!

I love this dress. I hear people say that it is not like something that a kid would wear...but it is nearly identicle to my cousin (who was 2 at the time) dress that she wore when she was the flower girl in my wedding.
