My feelings about everything in this item can pretty much be summed up as "I like this OK, but..." I think the item is nice overall, but falls short on originality in theme and poses. I'm glad to finally get some hair without bangs, but I could have done without the curly bit on top. I like the shape and size of the legs, but the pose looks very awkward to me. They need to be paired with an arm mod to make more sense with the rest of the body's positioning, and even then it kinda looks like the avatar has to pee. I'd have loved to see more gender-neutral/less feminine pose options with this item, as I like the color scheme and the sort of homey vibe it has. Crop tops, sleeves that cover the hands, and high heels are things we have a lot of on the site already that I have little use for. I like how the top pairs with the other clothing in the set, but I am not a fan of the way the arms are posed. They appear to be too short. It might just be a side effect of foreshortening combined with oversized sleeves, but especially with how big the legs are, it looks like they should have been longer. It doesn't stand out as much in the strawberry pose, but is really apparent in the one where both arms are down. As for the color scheme overall, I like the colors used for most of the poses, but I must question the choice of an orange strawberry. I don't really have any complaints about the dress, except for some technical issues: the left arm clips partially through the skirt, and when worn with the top, the straps of the dress are partially visible both on top of the left shoulder and through the seam of the right shoulder. Otherwise, I like how it looks both together and on its own.

I can't say I'm a fan of this one on any front: theme, poses, or colors. The colors on the poses that have two colors (the tights and the top) are fine. I like those combinations, though they don't bring much new to the table. It would have been nice to see some less-used color combinations. What throws me off is the color options for the other poses (the bangs, the cloak, and the leaf cape). They don't seem to match or really go together IMO. Design-wise, I'm not feelin' any of these poses. Nothing wrong with the pixel art itself; it's just too "high fashion" for my taste and that's not really my thing. I do appreciate the more unique nature of the poses nonetheless, especially the rose petal design on the side of the top. Kinda wish I could use the top half of it without the big bulbous hips. The bangs are well done and I like having hair "pieces" that can be paired with other styles, but the style of these feels redundant since we already have multiple similar-looking hairstyles and bangs on the site.

I really like some of the poses of this one, and I appreciate the theme. I also like the fact that it's more gender-neutral in nature. I'm not totally sold on the color schemes, especially having two that are pink (albeit very different shades), though I think the colors chosen fit the theme just fine. I like the hair for this one. It would be nice to have something like this in more neutral/natural colors, and/or with a shorter ponytail in the back. I like the pants and jacket, though I think a pose with the jacket closed up would have been useful. Having more than two colors or a third solid color on some of the poses would also have taken this item up a notch, as it looks blindingly "matchy" when all worn together.

I like this one a lot. It's a theme we have seen before, but not too often--though some concepts, like the face masks and rocket boots, are repeated. I like the variety of color schemes here and I think the colors chosen look good together in each set, with enough balance that the whole thing isn't too solid looking when worn together. The artwork on these poses is nice and they work well with each other, but I imagine I'd have a hard time pairing most of them with any other items/sets.
