Bridesmaid Dress: $36.00
This was the only "fancy" dress in Blaire's debut collection, and I'm not at all a fan of the high-low hemline. That said, I can see how little girls might think it looks beautiful. The pale- blue color suits Blaire. You expect a slip underneath, what with the thin fabrics, but the hemline probably made that difficult. It's a sheer, flowered overdress with a blue satin underdress. Shiny shoes are pretty cute. This has the feel of a bunch of the little Truly Me outfits, but the price seems high ($36.00) for only a dress, some shiny flats, a headband and a necklace that looks like a craft project. Lots of little girls will probably love it, but it might be worth waiting for a $24 sale price. As for care -- the thin fabric and sequins will make it difficult to wash. I'd say this is not a keeper but will make many little girls happy when they receive it.

I so wanted this dress and it did not disappoint me. I, too, am not a fan of the high low hem. But I’m glad AG has included a fancy dress with this style because it is so representative of what’s out there. I feel this is definitely an outfit that has to be seen in person to appreciate.

A white embroidered overlay on top of a light blue satin like base and butterfly lace cap sleeves is how I’d describe this dress. A light sewn in petticoat is under the satin to give the dres some substance. AG did not skimp in fabric , making the skirt quite full. The bodice has pink and blue sequins festoon on it to give the outfit a festive air.

This is unmistakably a spring/summer party dress. So very pretty. The silver glittery headband has a spray of pink flowers. Pink “patent leather” look shoes a bit simple in style but the glittery stones and scalloped edging does add a bit of fancy to them. The lightest blush of pink satin ribbon of a choker is just a plain ribbon. I wish a gemstone were added to it. I may look for one to glue on it.

Yes, this is a top priced $36 outfit. I give it an A. The dress, the main component of the outfit hit all the right notes. A little bit more fancy with the shoes and choker would have earned this the plus. But we are moving towards the right direction in quality here.
