This item was part of an August 2017 release that included Melody's Birthday Party Accessories and other items. It retired in 2019.
Melody's beautiful purple birthday outfit has a long-sleeve knit sweater and pleated skirt, white tights, white shoes with black ties, also two hair elastics with purple bow for her pigtails.
This is a very well made outfit! The sweater is a very nice knit, not too thick or thin, with no skimping at all in regards to the sleeves, and it is long enough to be worn inside or out. It can also be used for other pieces, as in a mix or match. The skirt is made of a thin wool blend, very nicely patterned, and the waistband has elastic in the back, no Velcro here. It is substantial enough to have the pleats stand out in the front, although the back is not pleated.
The tights have a knitted pattern, very cute, and the white shoes look adorable with it. I thought I would be using black shoes with it, and I guess I could, but was pleasantly surprised at how cute the white patent shoes were, and they are super easy to get on, and are well made. The white shoes are still on her!
Two purple bows attached to elastic circles complete the outfit, and work very well.
The color is striking and can work with many dolls. Since I don't have Melody, I put this on Ivy and she looks great in it. An A++ from me!

I love this outfit too! I just wanted to add, the sweater closes with the snagging velcro kind, and it would be super easy to get the knit stuck to it, so you have to be extra careful! The sweater is super soft and very stretchy, I hope it doesn't lose its shape with time. It also only closes midway down, so that's a bit weird. That would show if Melody wears it outside the skirt.
