Karol is ready for his date, with some pure white lilies and the biggest box of chocolates he could carry. Seriously, those chocolates are like the size of his hand.
Larkin appears, radiant in a sparkling silver dress and pearls.
The evening goes perfectly. Afterwards, they eat all of the chocolate.
The Review
Larkin's dress is Springfield, I think - I found it at a yard sale. Karol's tux is from the My Life As line, my usual stop for cheaper doll clothing. It was the only one left on the shelf and I couldn't bear to ignore it and regret it later when they all sold out. I have done that before.
Here's the official stock photo of a doll wearing the tux:
"Look at me! Here I am! Love me."
The outfit includes a white shirt, checkered bow tie and pants, and a dark blue jacket.
It's definitely cheap for a reason. The shirt fabric is very thin. I noticed many loose threads clinging to the outfit. On the hanger, everything was anchored together with those little plastic ties, which left small holes in the fabric.
Karol looks pretty dapper. But wait, what's that?
... white Velcro. Both the shirt and the jacket fasten with Velcro. This is a trend for My Life As clothes. You can see it very clearly from most angles, and it's even worse because it's white on a dark jacket. I think they could at least have used matching Velcro.
As it is, it limits the amount you can do with the jacket.
The jacket has faux pockets, with flaps that you can lift. Underneath is white fabric, shown here:
Here he is sans jacket and tie. The bow tie also fastens with Velcro, but in the back.
