Dear Ms. Perry:

a dress and an overlay, with the dress imparting the essential
character. The dress has flimsy construction and flimsy edges.

consists of a dress, a sash and a hat, with the dress imparting the
essential character. The dress has flimsy construction and flimsy edges.

Style 350480, Blushing Bride, is a textile costume set that consists of
a dress, a pair of gloves, a veil and an apron, with the dress imparting
