AG review: Brocade Holiday Dress

Brocade Holiday Dress for Dolls + Charm
Item# F6169 $36
Make her doll's season bright! This outfit is perfect for those shimmering holiday festivities, and includes:

A cream-and-gold brocade party dress, featuring a velvet ribbon and mesh rosettes at the waist
A matching flower-trimmed headband
Cream-colored tights
Golden shoes, to dance the evening away
A "Kind" heart charm for the doll's charm-keeper necklace



I'll be up front and say this: I would not spend more than $36 on this dress. I didn't because of free shipping and the first round of present roulette. I didn't like spending $36 on it to begin with because I feel this tells AG I'm okay with this nonsense and I am very much NOT. That said...

It was a holiday dress that was neither red nor blue/silver, so... I kinda had to. I don't really remember thinking too much of this at the store beyond "well... that's kind of more blah than I was expecting" but I saw some pictures on Playthings that made me rethink the dress. Especially the thought of trying it on Sonali or Kanani.

Still, I was a little worried since I'd already seen it in person and found it kind of blah. Once I opened the box, however, I was in love. Stars and hearts in my eyes in love. The dress is much softer than I would have imagined (maybe because when I think doll brocade I think really stiff for some reason?) and it's very understated in its sparkle. If you're the type to like the feel of velvet, there is that stripe around the waist that I may or may not absentmindedly pet because it's super soft and very soothing to touch. *cough*
