The dress actually isn't as bad as I'd imagined it would be. Yes it should be three pieces, not one, and the skirt should be fuller and longer, but the color is slowly growing on me. (I know, go ahead, call me a traitor, lol.) The pocket slits being missing doesn't really bother me, but that's mostly because I can't see how it matters. It's not as if her arm bends properly to get in there anyway, lol.
