This dress was a total surprise for me. I didn't expect that it would be so beautiful.
The cotton cloth used is very soft, thick and close-woven. The print is very pretty with a small pink rosebud pattern over a sprigged leaf pattern in light green.
The attention to detail is amazing too.
The piping along the 6 gore skirt makes the skirt stand out. The use of the piping and lace at the neckline is very well done. It stands upright and does not bend over.
The bib at the front would have been easy to leave off, but, it makes the dress so much more unique.
Even the sashes for the bow in the back of the dress are carefully done. They are hemmed to make certain that they both tie well and are ample for a nice bow.
I first bought this as a Grey Market item, gave that to my sister. (Very thin and stiff material)
But, the REAL THING is just that... a Really beautiful dolls dress. A+
