My lovely Whitney (#58) models the Sparkle Sequin Outfit for us: s914.photobucket.com/user/starwenn/media/Welcome%20Whitney/DSCI0374_zps393b1c70.jpg.htmlI bought this one mainly because it comes with so many pieces. That and I'm a sucker for poofy skirts. The skirt is dark pinkish lace with an underskirt of satiny material trimmed with stiff net. It stands out quite adorably on the doll, almost like a tutu. The waist is made of the same satin. The sequin collar on the otherwise simple blouse is light felt sewn with tiny circular sequins that catch the light. It seems a little flimsy, but those sequins do sparkle quite prettily. The blouse was a tight fit on Whitney - it probably won't work with PM dolls. I didn't try the barrette on Whitney until after I took that photo. It's three chunky plastic "stones" with a metal closure. I was impressed not only with how substantial and heavy the barrette is, but how much of Whitney's curly mop it held. It looks really cute on her, very sophisticated. I didn't try the shoes on her because it's definitely not sandals weather here at the moment. They're pink faux-leather sandals and seem to be well-made. Overall, this is a good bargain for the current price ($30) because of all the pieces if you have a Mattel doll in need of a fancy winter/spring outfit.
