shirt, shoes, skirt, tights, collar, picture frame
A!
I did a search for this one and couldn't find it, so I'm going to review it, too!
It's such a beautiful fancy dress. It's not as regal or formal as the Gala Dress, but it's still very lovely. The skirt is made of several layers of chiffon, grouped into two ruffles which are stitched to an underskirt - one ruffle is at the waist, one is halfway down. This helps give it the fluffy quality. There is velcro in the back, that really nice kind that's soft and doesn't tear at things too badly. (Which is good, because chiffon can get nasty snags!)
The shirt is a soft black velvet, also with that nice velcro in the back. It is long sleeves and has silver stitching on the front.It looks abstract to me, but organic, and has a few green sequins attached to the curlicues. I just realized, after posting this review, that the design is of a flower and branches/stems. Silly me. At any rate, the little green sparkles in the photo below are sequins on the flowers.
The tights are ribbed and thick, and I liked how long they are. This is my first experience with AG tights and I was pleased that they allow the doll to sit and move easily, unlike the OG tights I got the other day which make the legs stiff! The tights are a soft cream color, matching the skirt and collar.
The collar also velcros in the back with that nice velcro. It's fluffy, but not overly so, and is filled enough to keep its shape. I found that it was a bit awkward to get it on under the doll's hair, but once set, it makes the outfit so much fancier.
The shoes are basically patent leather looking mules that have an elastic hoop attached to the bag. You put the foot through the elastic, then into the shoe itself. It was a bit of a tight fit, I thought, but ended up being quite sturdy!
The box includes a picture frame as well, which is cool if it's a present, because you can snap a photo of girl and doll to put in.
