Earlier this year, Volks USA closed their California showroom and relaunched their online shop. During that process, they had a weekend clearance event that saw their stock offered at some impressive discounts.I tried to grab a number of outfits, wigs and dolls (the Dollfies in particular were steeply discounted), but the competition was fierce, so in the end what came home was two outfits, a random pair of wigs and some paintbrushes. The wigs turned out to not be to my taste, but the outfits were both ones I'd been wanting, and turned out to fit larger-than-standard dolls, so that's what I'll be sharing.
Outfit number one, called "Hoodie set" is a navy blue track suit with white an lighter blue piping and strips. It's designed for the Volks SD17 model which is a 65cm, narrow-bodied dolls, so I wouldn't have expected it to fit a broad-bodied 70cm Iplehouse EID, and yet it does. I've been looking for a track suit for Murad (EID Chase) for years, so I was thrilled to find that it fit.

The pants fit this doll perfectly at the waist but are a good 1.5cm too short. Luckily, this is easy enough to hide with tall boots (this particular doll is quite narrow for his height, so often ready-made 70cm pants are too loose on him). The tank top is perfect though.
The shirt and jacket are really too tight around the shoulders, so they'll be moving on to a different doll, but André did get to try them on. All of the pieces in this outfit are of really fantastic quality, so I'm quite pleased with this outfit (and with the number of pieces included in it).

I really like both outfits. That track suit looks so realistic. Congrats on getting the outfits.
