Azone Clothing Review: Knit Cap & Off-Shoulder Knit One-Piece Sets

Time for an Azone clothing review!

This time around, we'll review these cute little sweater/hat sets!




They are called the
Knit Cap & Off-Shoulder Knit One-Piece Sets

It's not easy to tell, but the middle one is actually cream with a white pompom.

Ok, so, let's start off with the good!

These are INCREDIBLY cute little knit pieces.
I always love when Azone does delicate knits!

These particular sweaters are lined on the inside with a more sturdy fabric as well,
so they are not as delicate as they look!

The colors are lovely, and the fit is cute!
They do fit some bodies better than others though, let's take a look:

First let's take a look at Mio, the gal with the Large Bust!
(I have put my Mio torso on an L body)

I really like the fit of this sweater on her...
it works with the curves XD


Next up is Mia, on an M body!
Still a cute fit!


 Now for Miu on the S body!
Even on the S body, where it starts to bunch up a little,
it's still awfully cute looking... although none of them really were able to pull off the "Off the Shoulder" claim... the sweater would just pop back up again.


Now for the bad.
If you look at the pics above, you'll notice that the hats sit high on the head, and the hems on them are unrolled a bit... that's because of this:



The inside gathering of the hat fabric is not the most well done. It's lumpy and bulky, and pushes the hats up higher on their heads. If I didn't unfurl the hat hems a little, the hats would pop off all the time... which is a little disappointing.

I have other winter pompom hats that were made in earlier years from Azone, and they do not have this problem, so I'm wondering if it was just too rushed of a production schedule? Or maybe just the difference in fabric types? I don't know.

All-in-all though, not a huge deal, and the outfits still look super cute in pictures!

Azone Update: Osaka Store's 6th Anniversary Doll

The Osaka store is having it's 6th Anniversary,
and in the tradition of Azone store Anniversaries, 
they will be releasing a special doll to commemorate the event!

She will be a limited release on February 7th, 2015

She is the Normal Version Winter Vacation Mia head
with a new outfit!

It looks like they took the beloved kitty hat and made it into a bunny one for the occasion :)
Plus she has the adorable little bunny purse!
I have this purse,
I love this purse!

She also appears to have another dress...
but thanks to online translations,
I'm not sure if this is just something that comes with her,
or if this is for dolls being sold at places other than Osaka:

 Her price will be 11,000 Yen.

Do you ever take your dolls to work?

Do you ever take your dolls to work?

If you do, do you have somewhere special on your desk where they sit?

Twins?

I will often times have two of the same kind of doll,
especially with Pure Neemos...

but I rarely consider them "twins"...

but these two girls, my little Rabbit Mia gals,
are absolutely twins,
even if they're not identical!

Do you have any doll twins?
Are they identical twins, or not?

Technical Difficulties

 
 *A screen appears in mid air at 12 Mariposa Alley, it is filled with the buzz of static*

 *The vague silhouette of a figure appears on the screen*

*The buzzing of static dies down and the figure comes into focus*
Anna: Chou! CHOU! Can you hear me?
I have a message for you!
 *The buzzing of static increases until you can barely see what is going on*
*Anna steps aside and a huge, dark shadow falls across the screen*

Elphaba: Ah... there we go... Chou!
Anna has asked the witches of the Majokko Shop to help poor Olive!
We have sent help, she should arrive any day!
There is one thing I have to tell you though...
The Neemo we've sent is very --------

*static begins to drown Elphaba out as she tries to give more instructions*
Elphaba: Oh crud... We have GOT to figure out what
is interfering with our communications!

*The crackling static gets louder
and you can only see vague forms moving on the screen*
Anna: Do you think they got the message?
Elphaba: I hope so, Anna, I hope so.

*The images on the screen are drowned out by the buzzing of static*
