I have been drooling over Nanea’s School Outfit since it was first shown. I love the colors, I love the pattern, I love the shoes, I LOVE IT ALL! So you can imagine how excited I was to open it on Christmas Eve!
And Noelle was just as excited to be the first to try it on!
I really think this is my favorite of all of Nanea’s outfits. The flower print is a mix of teals and peachy pinks, and it really looks nice against Noelle’s medium-toned skin. The dress is made of cotton, but it’s not too thin. It has a bit of stiffness to it, so it can kind of hold it’s shape. The top is gathered nicely and the sleeves and skirt have just the right amount of gathering.
The pattern on the shoes is so different from the organic print of the dress, it’s kind of surprising how well the two go together! From far away, the shoes almost look like they’re woven instead of fabric. I got lazy with the shoe ties and made lower bows than the ones in the stock photos. They still look pretty cute, though!
The remembrance “pin” is nicely made. I’m glad it’s not an actual pin – it just slides onto the fabric with a thin clip. I’m not sure if I’ll actually use it, but it’s still nice to have. The barrette is really cute. I kind of like that the “Nanea” etched into it isn’t too pronounced. I’m guessing that was done so your doll can wear it even if she’s not Nanea.
Definitely an instant favorite outfit – especially on Noelle. I’m not sure I can bring myself to change her out of this one anytime soon, but somehow I don’t think she’ll mind. XD
