My #58 Whitney, who loves 20s history, is delighted to wear this costume for Halloween this year! I picked this one up on eBay with everything but the bag. The shoes and the headband are both trimmed with matching flower sequins. My headband was fine, with all its feathers. The elastic is really heavy duty, enough to be able to fit around Whitney's considerable curls.
The shoes are cute and fit Whitney very well. They have a definite kitten heel. Whitney seemed to stand in them all right, but I only had her up for a few minutes.
The necklace is adorable and really adds to the outfit, but it's also really tight. It took me a while to get it to stay, and Whitney is a brand-new Mattel doll. It may be even more difficult with thicker PM girls. The gloves slid on pretty easily once you got around her thumbs.
The dress is sequin-trimmed silver fabric with braided fringe. My fringe is in good shape, with no fraying. I'm more concerned about the dress being pulled on the Velcro. It's the non-snagging kind, but it still caught on the dress when I was putting it on the doll.
Despite the above issue with the dress, I still highly recommend this outfit if you ever run into it on the secondary market for dolls who like their costumes cute and oh-so-glamorous.
