Flower Garden Dress + Book (2007-2008)

I saw this dress on a young friend's doll and instantly fell in love with it! The amount of detailing makes it really special and utterly gorgeous. It is a bit snug on the Mattel doll's body; those of you with PM dolls may have trouble putting it on. I thought the dress fabric was of very nice quality. The bodice is lined with a silky material and there is a beautiful silky brown ribbon around the waist. The flower trimming on the waistband is a bit flimsy, so it may not do for younger children who are apt to be rough. I thought the cap sleeves were a bit skimpy as well. The embroidery is beautiful and so is the delicate lace trimming the hem of the dress. Overall, a gorgeous outfit, but probably not one for very young children. Looks ravishing on Josefina!! A+ from me.
