The dress is amazing! The velvet is so soft and has a nice sheen to it so that it reflects the light. And the ivory trim on it is just adorable and MAKES the dress.

The Christmas box is great too. I have one of the older ones, from around '96-'97 I believe. Don't remember the exact year. But it has "real" little stamps on it and the typeface looks like handwriting, since it's from Dad. The paint set in mine can really be used although I never have. The stocking is just adorable! (Need to get it out and put it next to my tree!) My ballerina doll is very detailed. I do have the snowglobe with the plastic base but I still like it, and my flip book is Fantasia.
