This dress is so adorable, and the peachy-rose color is universally flattering! It has a grosgrain ribbon waist (a bit tight on my chubby MG doll) and there's not a lot of room in the torso, so I don't think a slip would fit, but pantalons would if you felt like including them. The stretchy neck makes for easier fitting as well. Her red boots are cute enough, but they are a little plain. At least they fit the first time with a minimum of fussing and stretching! Note: the hat is not included, and is sold with the Spencer Jacket set.   |

The colors of this dress are what make it so beautiful, IMO. I love the light and dark coral colors together. The dress is lovely alone, but when combined with the spencer and bonnet (sold separately), the total outfit is gorgeous!! I love the colors on Caroline, but I also love them on the darker complexions, like Cécile. I am a big fan of the boots, I think they are just sweet, and the detailing on the inside of the boot is cute. Overall, A+ |

This is my favorite outfit of Caroline's. I found that her meet bonnet and shoes also go well with the dress. She looks stunning in the coral and red. The boots are easy to get in and look so cute. A+

I really like the colors and fabric of this dress also, but was a little surprised at the elastic in the neck and arms. Also, because of the length, I thought it needed Josefina's pantalets, period-appropriate or not! Pics!  IMG_0008_rev by cbddallas, on Flickr  IMG_0011_rev by cbddallas, on Flickr |

FWIW, the elastic in the neckline is probably meant to simulate the "drawstring style" that some dresses were made in - not sure if that can apply to the sleeves as well though.  |

This outfit is lovely. It is my very favorite color! The fabric of the dress is nice and I also love the pattern and style. I love the boots as well, especially the detailing on the inside of each one.  Grade: A+  |

This dress is such a pretty shade. I appreciate the fact that, while sticking to the safe color of pink, in this outfit they did it with pizzazz. The print is just so pretty, and I love the gathered bodice. The red boots are my favorite, though. The material is very soft, and reminds me of real, very fine leather. I don't think I would let a young girl "travel" in such a pretty outfit, but I digress... Josefina and I give this outfit an A+!  Ready for Adventure!

my Caroline's travel dress review: I think this dress is really cute! it only comes with two things though. the dress is really pretty but not the matierial i expected. and the grossgrain belt on the dress pills easily. the boots are adorable!!! you dont have to lace them up! but they are hard to get on, and they don't go on the doll's feet. they stick out a little. B+
