Sams Cranberry Party Dress Lace....

[Aussiemum]

<font color="royalblue"> I have just found a second cranberry party dress of Sams with the same year tag of 1989 but they have different lace patterns around the chest. I remember seeing a picture of the old and new lace styles, but cant find it now. I thought it was on Curts site, but its not there now...Anyone know where the comparison pics were ???

I have pictures of both lace styles on my guide. They are at the bottom of the Samantha page in the appendix. Unfortunatley it looks like my page is down again (like usual) but will be back up again within the next couple days. you can pm me if you have any particular questions about the different kinds of lace...

I can email you pictures. PM me! The earliest dresses were bright red, then they changed to cranberry with heart shaped lace. Then to the flowered pattern lace.

<font color="royalblue"> Thanks soooo much for all your help guys !!!

The 2 dresses i have are tagged 1989; one has the "later" version of the lace - the little flowers with 3 "vines" connecting them. The other dress has JUST the flowers, but no vines interconnecting them ?? WEIRD !!

Unfortunately no "heart" design.... i guess i need to keep looking on ebay.... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks again, for all your replies, and MEG, your site is back up now... [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

hmm and they're a darker color than mine. I am guessing the change to the darker color came in 1989 then. My Sam's dress is bright red with the lace that has the vines.

<font color="royalblue"> Yes, they are both definately the darker cranberry red color....I guess every batch that was made was slightly different from the batch before it....</font>
