Released in 2016 for $32, retired in 2019.
Josefina celebrates the joys of the harvest festival in this colorful outfit. The harvest was an important part of life in New Mexico and was a time of bounty and gratitude. Her outfit includes: A white blouse with intricate embroidery. A vibrantly patterned skirt with a wide red belt. A satin shawl. Over-the-knee stockings. Pale-pink shoes with bows.
Josefina looks beautiful in bright colors, and this dress is no exception. At $32, I feel like it's a good buy for what you get. The set includes an embroidered camisa, a skirt, a red woven belt, socks, shoes, and shawl.
I especially love the embroidery on the camisa, and it's probably my favorite detail. I also like the use of a woven belt instead of a ribbon (like in Josefina's Feast Outfit).
The shawl is a tad too short to really be used as a rebozo, as it doesn't quite tuck itself under Josefina's arms very well. I'm also not a fan of the shiny material used, though I really like the bright color and how it compliments the colors in the outfit.
The shoes.... Well, they are pink with little ribbons and flat out don't fit on my PC girl's larger feet. I'm not too sad about that, as Josefina has tons of other black shoes she can wear.
Speaking of my Josefina being a PC doll, the skirt is very tight and has to be worn a tad bit high up on the waist. But I fully expected that, as the same has applied to all recent clothes I've purchased for my Josefina.
Overall, I love this outfit! I'm not someone who typically purchases things as soon as they are released, but this one came home with me right away!
Grade: A
