Description

Double-sided paper doll dress. The dress is green/blue with short sleeves and pink and white ruching on the sleeves and center bodice. The skirt is wide and reaches the doll's mid-shin. The right hand is holding a pink fan. The reverse shows the back of the same dress, which is almost identical except for the arms being in the front. The two pieces are connected at the upper shoulders to slide over the doll. The back of the front piece (inside) is labeled in pencil, "Minnie Bennet ball dress".
