Samantha's dress closes with Velcro. It is one of my favorite dresses. It has a lot of detail work - the tiny black trim is a small ribbon sewn onto a larger ribbon, the white yoke is pleated, and the collar and cuffs have a lace overlay. Although it appears to be a thin acetate taffeta, it has a nice crispness to it. Also, the neck line is high enough to cover her camisole.

I also have the winter party dress, which is like shmatteh compared to the talent show dress.
