That's entirely possible--it had the look of a really good costume--nice design, and whoever sewed it did a nice job as well (and fabric choice--some sort of crisp cotton in a non-inappropriate color). I'm not really familiar with what's available, commercially, for children, though, so I couldn't say for sure. I've heard of the whole "American Girl" thing (dolls and books and all), but that's about it. --Sue
