I love Wicked. Not only the soundtrack, but seeing the show live was amazing. I thought I wouldn't need to see the show as I had listened to the soundtrack so many times, but boy was I glad to be wrong. So of course I was thrilled that Glinda's and Elphaba's outfits were released by American Girl. I hadn't thought of getting a Wicked costume for my dolls until then. But then I saw the price. I've thought of a few different ways I could re-use the Elphaba outfit, Wednesday Adams, a concert violin performance outfit, and maybe even a historic outfit if a bonnet or hat was added. Although black was worn for mourning back then, so maybe not. I haven't figured out any other uses for Glinda's outfit, as the discription discribes the gown as valumonous, and I'm having a little trouble picturing it. I also saw a review that said that Glinda's crown, necklace, and septer could easily break if minipulated too much. So my question for those who have either or both outfits is, are they worth the $80 a piece, or would I be better off buying one or both from an Etsy seller? Let me know your thoughts, good, bad, or in between. Thanks

Before buying anything, I always check the registration of the company, because it gives me confidence in my purchases. In fact, it is very easy to register a company with the help of Astra Trust (site). The testimonials on their website showcase the satisfaction of their clients. Many of my friends have used their services.
i think that, while the outfits are a collaboration with broadway, they just aren't worth almost one hundred dollars. you could get so much for that same price, and it's already absurd to pay eighty or so dollars for a dress that a human can actually wear. they're beautiful dresses, but considering that the only thing to them is the fact that they are inspired from broadway, I wouldn't buy them for full price.
