Why, in a set full of lovely metal snaps, does this dress have long, hair snagging velcro? This is especially nasty as
her hair, as previously mentioned, uses only hairspray to maintain the style. The dress is nicely tailored, with full
princess seaming and even tucking at the elbows to give a smooth line on the sleeves. The large plastic things on
the bottom of the dress were upsetting at first, until I realized that they give the dress some needed extra weight
to allow the material to drape properly. You can't see them in the above scan, but there are black snaps on either
side of the back slit to allow them to be fastened to the pointelle sleeve accessories, another nice touch. Be cautious
when putting the dress on or off, as the fit in the shoulders is extremely tight. The dress fabric has a lovely texture
that is small enough not to be overwhelming, and the trim is black velvet rather than the fur of the movie costume.
Teen Skipper and the Generation Girls can wear this gown, but the bodice is too tight for the B-girl.

Evaluation:
