Photos of 1960s BeForever Floral Peplum Skirt Outfit on Doll

Last week, we posted about the second potential leaked Floral Peplum Dress outfit for the 1960s BeForever character that American Girl has confirmed will be black and released next year in 2016. Potential names for this character are still very much up for debate (though I personally am rooting for Melody Ellison). ^_^

It was difficult to see the details and lay of the dress from the eBay images so we were so excited when one of our readers let us know she was able to purchase the outfit and wanted to share the photos she took of the outfit on her beautiful #26 doll with us to post here.

*swoon swoon swoon a thousand times over*

This outfit was MADE for #26! The entire outfit is all one piece, which is easier for young children to handle, though I personally wish the underskirt had been a separate piece.

The collector informed me the 2 images below are the most accurate reflection of the dress' true color.

Close up of pleats on peplum skirt in front. Love me some pleats please! ^_^

Side view

The peplum skirt has a high-low hem, which shows off the underskirt really cutely!

Another side view.

According to our reader who sent us these photos, the material of the dress is very interesting. She described it as "slick" and that it took her by surprise.

A back view of the underskirt with the peplum over skirt hem lifted. You can see that this item does indeed have the American Girl clothes tag on it. I also like the little slit in the back of the underskirt, even if it is hidden by the peplum over skirt. The outfit in my mind is associated with an older girl (older teen) or adult woman, but AG has always been flexible when it came to the age accuracy of their designs so this doesn't surprise me.

Back view of dress.

The floral print used for the dress is so perfect for the 1960s! It definitely gives off that retro feel for me. ^_^

I am in love with this outfit and I *really* hope it is indeed for the 1960s black BeForever character released next year. I know the style probably would not have been worn by 8-12 year old girls at the time, but it is such a cute, fun, well designed outfit and seeing #26 wear it really cinches the deal for me.

Definitely in the "will absolutely buy" category for me. :D
