This lovely red gown is made of a medium weight satin which hangs beautifully. The drape is perfect and it doesn't wrinkle easily.
Unlike many of Mattel doll clothes it is well designed and made with quality fabric. Mattel doll clothes for Barbie run the gamut of poor quality to wonderfully well made. You would expect a doll whose cost would be in the upper ranges of the Mattel price spectrum to all be wonderful. This isn't necessarily so; this particular gown is a delight and a credit to Mattel for the work that they can do when they desire to do it.
