This long-sleeved nightgown was released in 1986 and retired in 2008 with the first archival of Samantha's collection. It was worn by Samantha in the 1986 and 1998 editions of the books Samantha’s Surprise, Happy Birthday Samantha and Samantha Saves the Day.
A nightgown fit for a sugarplum fairy! Samantha wears a flowing white gown trimmed with lace and pink ribbons. Fine lace forms the wide shoulder ruffles and edges the neck.

$20 SNO
Grade A
I have both a 1989 and a current 2005 version of this night gown and will show you the very subtle differences. I am not convinced that a PM version is any real difference in quality at all. Both versions are lovely and almost identical!
When it comes down to it the lace is an EXACT match on the Mattel and the PC versions of this dress. I was very pleased to have seen that. There is a very slight difference in the ribbon. The older PC version is a bit slimmer.

The real difference I can find is in the stitching and sewing of this garment. I can get those kind of differences in my own surger and finishing by the calibration of the machine.
