Cranberry Party Dress (RETIRED)

This outfit is worn by Samantha in the 1986 and 1998 edition of the book Samantha’s Surprise and in the 1986 edition of the book Changes for Samantha. The outfit was released in 1986 and retired in 2008 with Samantha's archival. There are several variations of the dress, as described and pictured in the reviews.

Samantha's Christmas outfit of cranberry taffeta is the perfect Victorian party dress. It's tied with a white satin sash and trimmed with beautiful lace and elegant ruffles. A pair of white stockings and a wide satin hair ribbon finish this Christmas confection.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress. I have a current Mattel version and love it all the same. It is made of a deep cranberry coloured taffeta, trimmed with lace and a ribbon around the waist.



I have the floral lace version. I have never personally seen the "heart" style lace. It is still lovely on her. the set also has a wide satin ribbon for her hair.



The outfit also comes with a pair of thick knit tights.



We like to dress Samantha in her White's under this dress. Even on my white bodied doll there seems to be plenty of room to fit and looks wonderful.
