Sweet Spring Dress for Dolls + Charm
Item# F3621
Price: $30
My American Girl® dolls make every occasion sweeter in this charming outfit.
It features:
I was immediately attracted to this dress due to the lack of dresses for my modern girls, and the nice neutral colors.
Dress
The dress is made from a knit material, slightly off-white with metallic threads. There is a satiny slip under the dress, though not very opaque. As a result, if the doll is wearing any colored underwear, it will definitely show through. The knit material has a bit of stretch, which is nice. The metallic thread is not overdone, and adds a bit of zip. The dress also has a pink flower attached to the left shoulder, which adds a bit of spring/romance to the dress.
Grade: A-
Shoes
The shoes are a light pink matching the color of the flower on the dress. The shoes have a bit of platform to them, featuring the canvas-like material as the sole. They also have crisscrosed pink elastic with a bow on the outer side of the ankle. The shoes may be a bit confusing for younger girls, and I found it worked best to put on the elastic first over the foot, then slip the shoe on. I like the overall look of the shoe, but they seem a bit tight to me, as my doll's toes are clearly showing underneath, much like someone whose shoes are getting a bit too small for their growing feet.
Grade: B+
Barrette
The barrette is a translucent pink meant to match the pink accents of the rest of the outfit. Cute, but just a standard hair accessory.
Grade: A-
Overall, I like this outfit a lot. I usually do not spring for MyAG oufits for my modern girls and rely on seamstresses, but this one stood out to me as a must have. I think it would have been better priced at $28, but it is still cute.
