I ordered both the blue & orange and blue & red outfit sets for my Happy Family. I have Neighborhhod Alan and Baby Surprise Midge (we got a baby girl), we donated a set, and have the kitchen and grandparents. I was VERY tired of seeing poor pregnant Midge in that same lilac flowered potatoe sac! Come on, girls! It's time for some designer duds and right in time for summer! Now I do have an entire set with Neighborhood grandparents/1st Birthday Midge & Nikki in African-American that I display with my vintage barbies because they are so awesome and I NEVER change them.

But, I need an extra set to play with. Who doesn't? Rather than little blond Nikki, we used the red head with braids from the Baby Friends gift pack. These clothes are teriffic. They are constructed well and reasonable. One pack can suffice to perk up Alan and Midge's stale wardrobe. The red, white, and blue clothes are patriotic and allow for a coordinated party look or a casual afternoon. The blue and orange look beach or pool bound - a must have if you've got the pool! What do I love? Some of Midge's clothes are post-partum, even a bikini top with shorts! And each pack has maternity dresses in eye-popping colors to match little Ryan and Nikki. So, you can have her pregnant or not, it's up to the individual. I have arthritis and the clothes, even tiny Nikki's outfits, fit well with ample fabric and are easy to fasten. Mattel did a good job with these. I hope to see a winter holiday collection in the fall. And some nightwear would be nice for the children and a robe, nightgown and such. I'm lucky to have red-headed Pool Party Liana and can coordinate her clothes as well. Alan needs some business attire and a tux. I saw some gardening gear for Grandma and Grandpop, but they aren't included in this set. I don't think they need to be changed as often, as they are grandparents and sometimes, with creativity, some of the Fashion Avenue shirts work with Grandma. Grandpop can now borrow Alan's fashions. If you love Happy Families, you'll adore their summer escape fashions.

i thought this was very cute. now they have swim suits and summer clothes, even a maternity dress! very nice for summer play.

I was very happy to see that there are some different outfits for the family to wear. We love the fact that they are colorful and easy to get on the dolls. However my daughter wondered why Nikki did not have any underclothes to put on. We thought maybe we threw them away by accident. Shes needs to either have some little shorts or underpants on. Despite this tiny little flaw, we like the clothing sets. We also have the red, white and blue clothing set.
