Back To School Outfit

[teacrumpets]

This outfit was part of an October 2019 release that included Maryellen's School Desk, Ready to Launch Rocket Set, and other items.

Maryellen is excited to go back to school, see her friends, and join the science club! She picks out this special outfit to start the year off right. It includes:
A red, white, and blue authentic ’50s bow-print dress with a fashionable Peter Pan collar
A short-sleeved blue cardigan with hand-stitched details on the front and a functioning button closure
A pair of matching red patent Mary Jane shoes with cute toe cutout details and polka-dot ribbon bows
A red satin bow to add to her ponytail as a finishing touch


I'm surprised this one hasn't been reviewed yet but here we go!

For anyone wondering what the dress looks like without the cardigan, here’s a picture of Jess wearing it ...



It seems like a nice lightweight dress that will be perfect for the summer. I like the colors, lightweight feel, the collar on the dress, and that the dress bodice extends very nearly to the doll’s cloth/vinyl transition.

The grosgrain waistband is loose in front so it might take some attention to place it properly. The fabric also wrinkles easily, and probably would have looked nicer with a quick steam before I took the photos. The other thing I don’t love about it is that fabric pattern doesn’t match up on the back. However, none of these are dealbreakers for me.



Overall I think it’s a sweet, warm-weather dress. It will be an obvious choice for patriotic holidays, and I guess for school, too.

I didn't feel the need to have the rest, but I just snagged the shoes alone off of eBay. They look so cute with the little oval cutout on the vamp and the polka-dot bow. I want to make a 4th of July dress to pair them with. Are adorable like Kit's red reporter dress shoes.
