This outfit is worn by Felicity in the books Happy Birthday, Felicity! and Felicity Saves the Day. It was introduced in 1991 and retired in 2009.
PC description: Felicity's elegant spring gown of tulip pink has pleated cuffs at the sleeves, highlighted by silk rosettes. Fasten the flowered apron, called a "pinner," to the dress with tiny straight pins - safety pins hadn't been invented yet! Felicity's stockings have hand-embroidered decorations called "clocks" sewn in a daisy pattern. English daisies and tulips form the pompon Felicity's mother gave her on her birthday. Tie it around her head with a pink satin ribbon.
This dress isn't one of my favorites because of the pink color and Felicity being a red head. It is nicely made though. The sleeves are 3/4 legnth and have little roses on the ends. The apron is made from heavy fabric so it stays up even without the pins. The ponpon is really cute- it's a regular pink ribbon with a bunch of flowers. It has to be arranged a certain way so the flowers don't stick out too much and look silly. The pins come on a sheet of cardstock that tells you that safety pins weren't invented yet and how straight pins were used. Grade: A
p.s It also looks cute with Kirsten's Daisy wreath
