Again, I usually do not post reviews of products, but I was very surprised by some of our latest acquistions.

Samantha's Bridesmaid Dress: I was very surprised with this dress. I really disliked it in the pictures and only got it because I thought it might retire. I was very surprised when it came in. It is beautiful. Very well made and the color is much better in person than shown in the catalogue or on the Internet pictures. The pictures made it look too frilly, but it isn't.

Samantha's Bridesmaid Accessories: My daughter loves this, but I was disappointed in it. It is larger than I thought it would be, but it is all plastic. If it had not come out of an AG box, I would have thought it was an oversized Barbie accessory. It think the item is cute, but to me, the cake looks very cheaply made.

Samantha's Lawn Party Dress: I really liked this dress in the pictures, but in person it is really rather ugly to me. The color is drab and the design boring. The hat is weird in that it has a bowl-shaped insert to keep it on the doll's head. Unfortunately, the insert isn't the same shape as the hat and it makes the hat look wrong on the doll. It might be a historically accurate dress & hat, but I was not impressed for the cost.
