I just want to warn everybody that this is just a fashion gift set. It does not come with any dolls! The title/description do nothing to imply this.

Please complain to Amazon. If enough people do than maybe they'll take measures to prevent moronic titles like "barbie new england escape" that accompany items that don't represent what is being sold.

Weekend in New England is a fashion-only set from the barbie Fashion Model Collection. This clothing is intended for the BFMC dolls only since those dolls tend to be slimmer in the waist than traditional vinyl dolls.

The set's inspiration is a summer weekend at antique auctions in New England. The set comes with a 3 piece chinese silk patterned skirt set for Barbie and a beige 3 piece suit/shoes for Ken. All the clothing items are highly detailed and of the highest quality - including lining and BFMC labeling. The set also comes with accessories such as bidding paddles, purse, etc.

It's a decent set and you get a 2-for-1 value since you can match up Barbie with Ken. The only detractor for me is that the suit set for Barbie, though of high quality, feel kind of slim (would have liked more detailing or just more fabric to it).

This is a really high quality set. I bought these for a Diorama piece and no matter how many times the suits have gone on and come off, I haven't had any trouble with the press studs, which tend to unthread over time on cheaper barbie clothes. They are really well tailored pieces and make any Barbie and Ken look classy.
