I'm partial to the old-fashioned look of Samantha's button up boots with black tights. I've found that combination looks cute with any dress she wears.

I agree Samantha's spring party dress looks a bit off-white, not white like her middy dress. I haven't tried Samantha's spring dress with the white boots yet. Perhaps the white boots will be too white to look nice.

Once again, AG could solve all my Samantha fashion dilemmas by simply making a pair of black button up boots. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

As to which dress is nicer, I love Samantha's dress! I wish there were more roses in the detail but the style is so original. Any dress that looks different, with unique detail, makes it more appealing to me. Probably because the style won't ever be found on a doll shelf at Toys-R-Us. Samantha's spring dress detail closely follows the fashions I found in various books of early 1900's children's clothing.
