This outfit was worn by Molly in the book Molly's Surprise. It is also worn by Molly in the movie Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front. It was introduced as the Evergreen Velvet Dress in 1986. In 1993 the design was changed to include decorative white pearl buttons on the front of the bodice, in 1995 the description of the dress changed from "snow white lace" to "ecru lace," and in 1997 the description of the bows changed from "white" to "cream." In December 2008 the name of the outfit changed to Christmas Dress. It retired with Molly's archival in 2013.
Molly’s Christmas dress of evergreen velvet has collar and cuffs of snow white lace, and white pearl buttons down the front. Styled with a princess waistline, it’s full circle skirt twirls when Molly spins around. It comes with crisp white bows for her braids. Even her pesty brother Ricky must admit Molly looks beautiful in this outfit.
This is a review of the Mattel version of Molly's Christmas dress. This dress is made of a really nice thick velvet material. I've never seen the PM version in person, but I'm pretty sure it measures up quite nicely to the feel of the PM version. This Mattel version also features a full round skirt that twirls when she spins around.
The only difference is that the Mattel version features six buttons that go down the front of the bodice, which I think adds a nice touch.
The lace is also different, which doesn't make it look as nice as the previous version but it doesn't really make it look any worse (if that makes sense).
Regardless of the lace, it's still a very lovely dress and worth buying for any doll. This dress can never go out of style.
It includes cream colored ribbons for her hair.
Grade: A
Full skirt makes for a beautiful curtsy.
Buttons down the front.
Close-up of the lace.
ETA: my grade, duh.
