Leaked Gold Dress for Beforever Melody or Truly Me

This lace gold dress popped up on eBay a few weeks ago and appears to be a new outfit, though it's not clear which line it is from. My guess is most likely it is either for the soon to be released 1960s Beforever character Melody, coming later this summer, or the Truly Me line. It looks like it could be a holiday outfit, perhaps released later this year with the fall releases? 

For some reason, it reminds me of the coat set we saw appear on eBay. (You can view the photos of the coat here.) I think these two would be cute paired together, and look incredible on Melody, as a Sunday church outfit, or a holiday outfit. ^_^ Full list of all leaks/info/rumors for Melody at the bottom of this post.

Update 6/10: Another listing just appeared which seems to show the entire outfit. Photos have been updated below.

Additional eBay Photos:

It looks like the outfit will come with cream/gold tights, black flats decorated with bows, and a golden hair ribbon/headband. 

The color of this dress is more apparent now in this photo, taken in more natural light.

Flat... decorated with bows... XD Can you get more AG than this?

After seeing these additional photos, I am much more attracted to this outfit. :D I'm imagining how stunning this would look on Melody, especially paired with that beautiful coat!

Original eBay Photos:

Front of dress

For me, the width of the bows seem a bit wide, or at the very least, it gives me the feeling of "too much". I don't know how snippable these bows will be with a seam ripper, though from the picture it looks like they're all sewn straight down the center. 

AG... I love bows as much as anyone, but please... change it up a little! XD

Back of dress

I hope it's the non sticky velcro! I'd hate to see that ribbon or those metallic threads get pulled and snagged to shreds. 

At the bottom of the picture, you can just see a tiny corner of the AG tag. Initially I thought this dress had gold lace overlay on the fabric (wishful thinking?) but now I see the gold lace design is woven into the fabric and it's only one layer. 

I'm a little conflicted on this dress. My gut says I like it, but the 3 bows on the bodice and the fact the gold thread design is woven into the fabric, not a lace overlay is a bit off putting. I guess I'll have to see it in person modeled on a doll (maybe on Melody with the coat? :D) before I make my final decision, though if it's for the historical line, it's coming here no matter what. ^_^
