I have always wanted this dress but it the secondary market prices have kept it out of my price range. I found it today at a local antique store for $20! I love the dress! The weight of the cotton is really nice, heavy without being too heavy. The black accents are wonderful. Like others mentioned above, I wish the pattern on the skirt went all the way around. Addy looks wonderful in this dress.
My PM Addy's arms almost didn't go into the sleeves. That would have been a big disappointment. They just barely fit and it's a good thing she isn't real or else her circulation would be cut off.
I hate to give this grade but I'll put it at an A. I took off for sleeve tightness and the unfortunate decision to not have the design go all the way around the skirt. It should really have been a B, but I gave it an A because I have wanted it for years and to get it at below retail price was amazing (of course, no hair bow, but I can live without that).
