Fancy Floral Dress

[Ms. Notorious]

This item was released in 2016.

Melody is ready to sing in this fancy floral taffeta dress! It has a pleated high-low overskirt and a double bow in the front. Her pink patent Mary Jane shoes have cutout details at the toes, and her prim white gloves make the perfect finishing touch.


I also added the hairstyling set in the video since it matches the dress.

I had my doubts about the dress, but I decided to go with it because I really like the print. I just received it today and I'm not disappointed! It is a beautiful dress!
The fabric has a strange feel to it, like plastic, but it's very nice to the touch. ( I read this type of fabric was common in the 60s?) The dress fits very well. I had a little trouble putting it up the waist and at the same time getting the arms in, but I think it'll go better the second time. The pleats are lovely and the colors compliment Melody very nicely! The shoes are adorable. It's not wrinkled when you take it out of the box, by the way, so that's a great thing!
I'm very pleased with it and glad I got it.
The light is terrible so I promise to post good pics ASAP!

This dress has a plastic feel to the fabric. However, it is mentioned in the book, as Melody borrows it from her older sister. That makes it very special.

It is historically accurate, but usually this style would only be worn by older girls. This is explained by the fact that Melody borrowed it from the older sister.
