Here is my review of the American Girl outfit, "Samantha's Bicycling Outfit." I received this set for Christmas, and really enjoy the details included within each piece of the set. The colors are just adorable!
The white eyelet blouse is very simple, yet elegant. The long sleeves have a puffy shoulder, giving a cute and young look. I especially love the blue ribbon on the neckline since it adds a nice pop of color to the shirt. Below the neckline are multiple flowers and ribbon designs sewn ranging from blue colors to pinks and greens. The embroidery is just absolutely gorgeous and elegant, and really is nice quality. At the bottom of the shirt is blue ribbon stretching from both sides, and gathered fabric.
The bloomers are a mix of gray and blue and have a checkered print throughout. The bloomers match the shirt well since the shirt has the blue ribbon. The bloomers definitely add a sense of pattern and difference.
The set also comes with black gaiters with pink buttons. The buttons do not button, but are merely just for decoration. If you did not know this, the gaiters are NOT the footwear themselves, but go over the boots or shoes which do not come with the set. To get the gaiters over the footwear, there is Velcro in the back.
A bubblegum pink bow is included too. The bow has a white elastic in the back to put into your doll's hair.
The hat is made of straw and has a beige color. Around the hat is a blue ribbon which I think, really completes the hat since it gives more detail and a splash of color so that the hat isn't too drab.

Overall, I love this outfit because it has so many beautiful colors that really match well with one another. The hat is too cute, and the shirt is a favorite of mine. I definitely will use this set A LOT!
