I was so thrilled to see this item for my daughter. being that she is Korean, we are always trying (in vain) to find some Korean-type items for her American Girl dolls. Our daughter has had several hambuk over the years for special occasions, and she will be thrilled to see this for her AG dolls! It is well-sewn, beautiful, and accurate in construction.

I spent time in Korea and so was really excited to purchase this traditional hanbok for my American Girl Doll, Molly. It is so pretty!

My daughter is Korean and I was delighted to find this outfit. The hanbok dress, jacket, and shoes are very pretty. I realized I'd better make sure the dress fit before giving it to my daughter in Christmas. Good thing I did - one of the snaps on the jacket was barely attached and came off as soon as I snapped it, so I had to fix that. The dress is such a tight fit that initially I didn't think it would fit. It has to be pulled to one precise spot and then very carefully snapped into place. The poor doll looked like she needed a girdle as I squished her into the dress! I'm hoping the fabric will give a little with time. For the price, I expected a bit more attention to detail. I've found better vendors for AG clothes, so I'm not sure I will buy from this one again.

I bought this for our International Day festival, and our class had the South Korea booth. We used this on one of our students American Girl doll, it fit perfectly and showed the kids the traditional clothing that South Korean women wear. It was lovely and well worth buying.

I was disappointed in the quality of the dress. I also wish it had come with some explanation of the history of the dress. I would have preferred that it come it different colors. My Korean daughter-in-law wore a pink one at her wedding. This was absolutely the ONLY choice I had for an 18" Korean doll dress, so I took it and my daughter-in-law appreciated my efforts. I'm not sure how it will hold up with use as the child who received it doesn't live with me.
