This outfit was released in 1987 and retired in 2006. It is worn by Samantha in the 1986 and 1998 editions of the book Happy Birthday Samantha.
Frilly and fanciful, Samantha’s birthday dress is a rose- and white-striped taffeta. It’s covered with a crisp white pinafore that has ruffled lace “bretelles” and a wide sash that ties into a huge bow. There are even party socks to go with it. But the crowning glory of this outfit is Grandmary’s gift, the old-fashioned circlet of rosebuds that once belonged to Samantha’s mother. Tie it around Samantha’s head and let the soft ribbons float on her dark curls.
PM, 95
The Good: I love the dainty pinafore. Circlet is adorable (although I seem to have lost mine?), and the white/pink party shoes look very cute with it.
The Bad: Weird material, and I like it less now than I did when I was little.
Rating: ****, A-
