Modern Fancy Shawl Outfit Item# CHG88 $48
This set is just like the outfits that dancers wear at modern-day powwows. It includes:
A red satin dress with long sleeves and two rows of satin ribbon trim A matching fancy shawl with long fringe on three sides, intricate embroidery across the length of the back, and thumb loops so that dolls can hold onto the edges just like real dancers A faux-leather shoulder drape and boots that are both embroidered to match the shawl, and have matching ribbon trim Headwear that features an embroidered patch on a comb with a feather accentThis is a great new outfit for Kaya! The dress is well made and the ribbon trim goes all the way around. The 'shoulder drape' (white vest-like piece) has velcro in the back so it's easy to put on over the dress. There is NOT embroidery on the back of the shoulder drape. I absolutely LOVE the bright red of this outfit! It's beautiful!! I love the little thumb straps so Kaya can hold her shawl easier. Here she is holding out the shawl so we can get a better look at it. It's all real (machine) embroidered. A BIG plus is that these boots also velcro in the back! Kaya has always had difficulty tying her moccasins (from other outfits) on correctly! Even the box that this outfit comes in says it's LE (it's a sticker), so looks like we probably need to hang on to this box! UPDATE: Adding another photo of the girls having a modern pow-wow with some of Kaya's beautiful modern-day outfits!

I knew I couldn't miss out on this year's full outfit, so I bought one.
I love the color on Kaya, it's very happy. The outfit is okay quality though. The satin-y fabric is very willing to snag, even on the no-snag velcro. I worry about the fringes unraveling as well. The vest is made of the same material as her original Jingle Dress' shoes, and those have become cracked and flaky. I hope the vest will not do the same thing over time. Standard hair comb. I really like the dress as a stand alone thing. The boots are nice, but aren't flat on the bottom. They have no separate soles. Just more of the same fabric.
