Ruthie wore a similar dress in the movie/DVD Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. Released in 2011, retired in 2016.
Kit's fancy dress is trimmed with lace and features a satin sash that ties in back. Includes cream T-strap shoes with punch details and a pretty hairbow to match. P9-T6696 $28
A+ I adore Kit's Summer dress! The quality and texture of the fabric is lovely, high quality stuff. It's a soft cotton, lined with a muslin that drapes nicely over the doll's body. The lace trim in also good, not too stiff. The dress is very well made, and the lines of the dress complement the shape of the doll.
True it's not Kit's color, but given that I don't have Kit, I don't mind. My Lanie and Rebecca both enjoy wearing it. Of course the BIG sateen bow is a bit over the top, and I'm half tempted to get out my stitch ripper and remove it. (And I might just do that!)
The shoes are a B+. They fit well, the dolls can stand easily in them and the design is cute. They are make from a patent plastic that's a little too thin. A cloth shoe (like her meet sandals) or a sturdier plastic would have been better (but hey, at least they're not molded plastic like Sam's meet shoes.
