I'm super excited to share a guest post written by my friend, Maddie! Without further ado, here she is...
Hello doll lovers! Today I will be providing you a swimsuit doll review!! I wanted something quick and easy for my upcoming beach vacation. I purchased these from an Ebay seller named Dori's Doll Boutique. Their prices are very low with super fast not expensive shipping! Now, let's get on with the review! :D
Swimsuit #1 is the 3pc Blue Hawaiian Hula Swimsuit Set. It retails for $7.96 and comes with one hula skirt, one bikini top, and one bikini bottom.
The bikini it self is very good quality. It is made out of a thick swimsuit material and the hula skirt is made out of the same kind of roping you would find on a lanyard. Snaps make it easy to take on and off! The inside of the bikini may look a little messy, but it's really just surged on the inside! :)
The bikini bottom does look small in packaging, but it fits fine. Although, my only con about them is that they sit a little low on the behind, as you can see in this image.
Saige loved modeling this swimsuit on the beach! Watching the sun set was her favorite part! :)
And now Swimsuit #2!!! This suit is called Black with Polka Dots swimsuit w/ a beach ball. This one also is retailed for $7.96 and comes with one swimsuit, and one beach ball.
The swimsuit is a thinner material than the blue swimsuit...But still very good quality. The Ruffles are super cute and add some flair!
If you look closely, around the neckline (there is also a bit on the back of the suit as you can see in the picture) there is a little bit of what looks like frayed fabric showing, but no worries! It will not fray and ruin the suit. It's just the excess fabric flipping upwards. You can just iron it down and it would be fine!
I absolutely LOVE the back of the suit! It is lower cut. It fits the dolls perfectly. Although, since it is lower cut if your doll has neck strings, they will show. I did not include a picture of the beach ball, just because it is nothing too special. It is perfectly sized though!!!
Overall I rate this suit 4.5 out of 5 stars! Con: the excess fabric shows and can make it look messy even though it is a perfectly sewn swimsuit. :) Saige loved showing off her new swimsuit on the beach!
I hope you guys enjoyed this review! Overall I would recommend any of these swimsuits to anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on an American Girl brand suit and who wants something cute and low priced! I hope you check out Dori's Doll Boutique! They have a large variety of doll clothes and accessories! I will definitely purchase from them again. Ciao for now!
