I'm one of those people who said "Bleh! Pink holiday dress? No!" when this first came out. But my then-7 year old daughter had other ideas, and I have to admit that this outfit has grown on me. I still see it as more appropriate as a Valentine's Day or general party dress than for the winters holidays, unless you dress it up with the party hat!
The skirt is adorable, made of a soft crinkly fabric. The underskirt is tulle edged with sequins, and I think it needs to be a bit longer for the maximum impact of the delicate edging. The top seems flimsy to me and it wrinkles easily but seems surprisingly well-constructed, if whimsical. The tights are a light pink, and the shoes are to die for.
The accessory set was of course sold separately and I didn't think it was worth full price since my daughter wasn't interested in the noisemakers, et cetera. She wanted the little fur collar, though, and luckily at the time it was available from AG for $7 as a replacement part. It gives another option to the outfit by dressing it up a bit more and frnakly, I think it improves the look.
Overall I give this outfit an A- because I wish the underskirt was just a tad longer. You can't see it if the doll is sitting unless you do some tugging, and it's the best part of the dress.
As a holiday outfit it gets a B+ because I don't think that it is all that winter-festive.
