The Modern Era Collection opens a new chapter on beloved historical characters with a fresh take on their original fashions. Samantha's 1904 taffeta dress gets a playful update with a pink-and-berry plaid skirt and sheer puff-sleeved top. Her treasured brooch--a keepsake that held pictures of her parents--becomes a velvet bow with a golden heart pendant. Ribboned ballet flats and a matching headband make the proper finishing touches for this original trendsetter.

The back has Modern Era in both French and English and Samantha in character logo and The American Girls Collection logo at bottom.

Bottom of box has company data and contents list.
