Callie in the New Teal Tiered Celebrate Outfit
The celebrate outfits from Toys R Us are elegant dresses
created to compliment the special edition holiday doll released each year, this
year that doll is Giovanna. There are four celebrate dresses released
this year. The dress being reviewed today is a full length tiered teal
colored dress. It comes with shoes and a handbag and retails for around
$19.99. Satin like fabric makes up most of the dress, with chiffon
pleated overlay for the tiered skirt.
The dress has a square neckline with wide shoulder straps
that have pleats also. The entire top of the dress is satin, with the light pleated
overlay beginning as an empire waist. Two layers of pleated chiffon like
material create a skirt that is reminiscent of a flapper dress, but
longer.
The first layer goes to just below the knee and the second goes
to top of Callie’s shoes. The dress is form fitting on the top, but flows
freely from there down. It Velcro's up the back for easy changes.
The accessories that come with the celebrate dresses are
sparse. As with most of the outfits made for the Journey Girls, the
celebrate outfits come with the standard plastic low heel dress shoes.
They work, but are nothing special. It would be awesome to get some
higher end fabric shoes, especially with a special edition dress like this.

Value 8 – The dress is what you are paying for with the celebrate outfits. The shoes are the normal flats that come with so many of the Journey Girl outfits. Although the clutch is pretty, it is nothing amazing. It’s too bad that shoes and the clutch don’t match the quality of the dress.
Fitment 10– This dress fits beautifully, which is exactly what you expect for a dress made specifically for the Journey Girls.
Versatility 6 – This is a fancy dress and as such really doesn’t have much versatility. Even though the shoes are the same as so many other shoes, the color is unique to this outfit and could be used as an offsetting color for another outfit. Unfortunately there just aren’t many different uses for a one-piece semi-formal dress.
Cuteness 8 – Though it’s not very versatile, the dress is very pretty. The design of the dress is different, with the two-layered skirt and the empire waist, it works wonderfully together.

Hi JK,
Great review! It's interesting to see how long this dress is as I'm not sure I would've thought it would be "floor length". I'm curious to see if it sells well as I'm not sure little girls would be as interested in something so elegant, compared to the cute little "tea length" dresses AG usually produces. I like this because it's different. :)
It is neat that is different. I really like the full length dresses. Now I have to find a place that the girls can wear them.
