I have to go against the consensus here: I just received the dress today and I am quite disappointed in it. The green on it seems too bright, and more disappointing, I found the material to be thin, cheap, and definitely with a fake, plasticy, polyester feeling (I know it's taffeta, but I always thought taffeta, while not one of the heavier fabrics out there, should feel softer). There are tassels at the ends of the ribbon sash (which is sewn on but still needs to be untied to get the dress on) that make it very difficult for me to tie it in a decent bow.
I was most impressed with the ribbon, which is soft, and wide, and (despite what I was told by people who owned the dress) long enough to make a ribbon headband for Mary. But for the price tag, I would expect either a better quality for the material or more extras (I had to buy Addy's meet boots to go with it. I already had her meet socks from getting her socks and shoes set).
The style of the dress is very cute, but it's hard to get over the initial let-down of the cheapness. I give it a C-. If it had come with more things or were made of a more durable material, I'd give it a higher grade.
