I've been looking at the latest Retro-Glam release and thinking about whether/what to order.
So I thought it might be a good time to get out a past Retro-Glam and try it on.
Overall: Lovely, very well-made, cute accessories, a problem w/shoes.
The dress fits immaculately, zipper closure, quality fabric with a subtle sheen.
Fun hat and matching basket with flower bunches.
Also comes with white-glove hands and sleeves. The sleeves are not made of stretch fabric, so you can't get them over the hands; you'll need to use the dressing balls. I was just too lazy lol.
Well-made earrings, and sunglasses that match the hat bow and the shoes.
The shoes were the only disappointment, esp since JS Gene shoes have been top-notch in the past. And while these shoes are lovely and well made, they were just too small to get on, and, boy, I tried. So I got a different JS Gene pair, and they went on, no problem. I wonder if heating these new shoes might help; they appear to be made of vinyl and fabric. Or maybe they fit better on the jointed-ankle JS Gene body? Anyway, disappointing.
But overall, a lovely set, and I will now definitely be looking at the new releases with confidence. Might even get one of the dolls...
If anyone has any of the other Retro-Glam outfits, I'd love to hear what you think of yours. Especially curious if the shoes fit ok lol.
