Simple clothes, unfortunately, are always harder than they sound. This dress is proof of that. A basic shift with a dropped waist and self-belt, Mattel seems to have forgotten that the draping on such a style needs to be exact. On a 1:6 scale, a fraction of an inch variance in the location of the waist can be fatal. On the plus side, the fabric is what I assume is an excellent fake silk, with incredible texture, and those are snaps, no velcro in sight. The coat is a cheap polyster, but is nicely accented with an intricate black velvet overlay and fake white fur. Mattel's box bondage means there is a hole in the coat for the twist ties to go throw, but it is actually an unsewn inch of back seam that can be fixed without looking bad.
