This outfit is worn by Samantha in the short story "Samantha’s Winter Party." It was released in 1999 and retired in 2004.
From the pamphlet: Before Christmas, Samantha planned an ice-skating party with a gift exchange. Samantha had a new dress for the party. It was one of her favorite colors - robin's egg blue - and it was made in the latest style. It had a French waist, or dropped waist, and a French-style blouson top. The blouson top was a loose style that made it easier to be active - perfect for a party and ice skating.
This dress is so beautiful! It is made from ice blue crepe du chine and in the latest "pigeon front" style. (Meaning the bodice pouches out over the waist). It has a big sash which snaps in back and the hairbow is attached to a French Clip that snaps in Samantha's hair. There is delicate lacy trim on the neckline and sleeves and the skirt is pleated.
Negatives: This dress is very delicate, the fabric snags easily, and the lace could rip if you are not careful. The sash could also break if not unsnapped carefully. The hair clip gets caught in Samantha's hair and makes her hair tangled.
It's a very pretty dress but it hangs too loose on my white bodied Samantha. It fits my Gotz Little Sisters, Susanna much better and fits Ruthie very well too.
Grade: A

sash bow is sewn on but snaps closed
