"Saige wears this taffeta dress to celebrate her birthday! It has a gold-foil sparkle design trailing across the front, and a crisscross sash to accent the full skirt. Includes western boots and a cactus-flower necklace for extra shine" Listed for $30
DD picked this up for her future Saige doll at the debut of Saige in the DC store. Her Cécile is modeling it for us today.
Material is not cotton, but it is a nice nylon/windbreaker material.
The ribbon belt goes all the way around the back. Notice also the asymmetrical shoulder straps. Her left strap is like a spaghetti strap and the right one is like a tank top.
A little blurry (sorry, my camera doesn't do close-ups well). Trying to show the gold dots. They look like those 3-D metal dots that are on clothing, but are printed onto the material.
The skirt is lined and the bottom of the inner skirt has a ruffle of tulle to give the skirt some body. Nice touch!
Gold pimp, er, I mean cowboy boots. These are nicer that I would have thought. Velcro up the back for easy on/off. DD couldn't get them on with Cécile's meet socks at all, too tight. There is a flower just like the one on her necklace stamped on the outsides of the boots. I do wish that flower had had some color applied like the boots in her Parade outfit (if we are going to wear dude boots, might as well highlight the fact we are a dude).
Close-up of her necklace. I didn't know what kind of flower this was until I actually read the description as I typed it in here. I guess the cactus flower is her "symbol".
All in all a cute set. Don't know about wearing it to ride in a balloon in, would be cold, but it is a nice outfit.
I give it an A.
