Summer Dress (retired)

This set contains a dress, hair bow and shoes, I got it from American Girl on Weekly Sale for $26 in July 2012. The dress is lovely and feminine. It is a soft cream coloured cotton with pink, yellow and lavender flowers and green leaves printed on it, and it has an ivory lace yoke and trim and a lavender satin sash. The dress is nicely made, the bodice and part of the skirt are lined, the material is soft and it is very pretty. I admit the sash is a bit much, but I can live with it. I only wish the bow had been permanent, I nearly cried untying it knowing I could never get it that nice again. The shoes are cheap, very thin patent pleather and one of mine was creased and cracked and had glue spots on it, they do match the dress nicely though. AG sent me a replacement pair, that while not perfect is much better than the original. The hair bow matches the sash, is attached to a pony-o, and is still sealed in its bag. I am very happy with this dress (even with the kinda cheap shoes) and honestly think it would have been worth full price. Granted it isn't Kit's style, but I don't have Kit and it looks fabulous on the Elizabeth doll I bought it for. A
