The first item, Style #5280, Rugrats Angelica, consists of three items, a dress, leggings and a hood. The dress has orange sleeves and orange yoke. The rest of the dress is purple. With the exception of binding at the neck, all edges are raw. The leggings, blue with green dots, have an elastic waistband. The elastic is sewn directly to the fabric with visible overlock stitching. The leg hem is also visible overlock stitching. There is also a form hood which is the face of “Angelica”. The second item, style #5293, Rugrats Chuckie, consists of two items, a printed bodysuit and a hood. The bodysuit is blue on top and green on the bottom with some screen printing on the front. With the exception of the neck and arms, the hems are raw. There is also a form hood which is the face of “Chuckie”. The flimsy non-durable construction of these items would allow their classification within Heading 9505.
