Sup, peoples!
So here (finally) is our post with shots of the MyAG Soft as Snow Outfit and Earmuffs on Angelina Sheldon. We specifically chose a dark-skinned doll so you could see that the sweater and leggings are kinda see-through.
The main outfit comes with the sweater, skirt, cropped leggings, and boots. As well as the MyAG charm. Separately you can purchase the coordinating earmuffs.
Main outfit price: $34
Earmuffs: $10
Slightly painful to slap down $44 plus tax for this set.
It is cute and may have some mix and match potential.
We haven't done experiments yet though.
Some pics of these earmuffs seem to imply that they are gigantic.
We unfluffed them -- i.e. pressed the fur down against Angelina's head and they looked a lot less like two giant white Tribbles devouring her head.
Just two tiny Tribbles....
So yes, the sweater is sorta see-through.
If I were AG I would have done a thin layer of white jersey under the bodice of the sweater, just for sanity's sake.
Also, the sweater does close with velcro. fyi.
The sweater is white with sparkly silver thread running through the yarn.
The skirt is fluffy faux white fur.
Skirt is certainly not see-through. Haha.
It is very tight and really only fits in one place on the dolls without struggling. (It is a pull-on piece.) It may be too short for some customers, but the leggings help with that.
We tried the skirt as a shoulder wrap. It didn't look good.
The leggings are a thin white jersey/knit.
Pretty nice, as long as you don't mind them being kinda see-through.
The boots are very awesome. (But we do have an unhealthy obsession with boots.)
Faux fur on the top is very soft and not too bulky.
Light violet color is very pretty for the main structure. Not sure if they will go with anything else as far as outfits. It is a weird color, and we aren't sure why they picked it to go with a white outfit like this. Who knows?
They are nice, but again, not sure how well they will transition into use with other outfits.
We looked on the Internets to find where AG got this outfit concept, particularly the fur skirt -- which was honestly beyond us.
We found our answer in the more youthful sections of the fashion world.
To us these girls aren't nine-ish. Maybe six or seven-ish.
But maybe we aren't good with that stuff.
Fur skirts conjure up a lot of images in our heads.
Most of which are not high-fashion ones, or involve actual fur (Yuck) for elite designer lines.
In the high-fashion and tween fashion worlds you will find a lot more feather skirts than fur ones.
But of course sewing with feathers or faux fur are both nightmares that most seamstresses will wake up with cold sweats from.
But just in case you wanted more info on this trend, thar ya go.
I guess next we should pull out a box of modern clothing and see what we can put the skirt and sweater with. Might be an interesting challenge for us.

As far as a review of this set....
It is expensive. I seem to say that about every AG thing I buy...
But when we think of non-collectors laying down that kind of dough for these things, we feel people should really think about how much they will use the items in question.
Not to be your Mom or something. ;-)
1) The sweater does have the silver thread running through it -- so it might not be the "everyday" white sweater of your dreams.
2) How often will someone wear a white fur skirt?
3) White leggings are win. But you can find a pair for a lot less than $44.
4) Boots are also good -- but again, not sure how versatile light violet boots are. I guess lavender is the color?.....
5) Earmuffs. If you are dying for earmuffs luckily they come separately. These are cute and useful for winter photo shoots or traveling on cold days. We wouldn't tell you not to buy these/put them on your wishlist. :-)
Okay, that was our long monologue.
We are done now. Heehee.
