Caroline's Spencer Jacket, while adorable, was more than a little tight on my chubby MG, though it fit Rosalie (Cécile) just fine! Because of the style, the shoulders of any doll tend to look like a Linebacker... oh well! The peachy rose fabric is trimmed with a darker rosy red, very flattering and pretty. The fabric itself is thick, fuzzy woven material - like real suiting instead of cheap thin cotton. Yeah! The hat is a tour de force! The style is so darling and looks especially cute with curls peeking out underneath. I personally think this set is worth buying just for her hat! It's just that cute! It's also quite firm, similar to the fabric in Ruthie's Play Outfit hat, I could see it getting crushed pretty easily so I'd recommend storing it safely when not in use.   |

This set is so pretty! The spencer is a nice, thick wool, and very well made. It does have a hefty feel at the shoulders, but looks appropriate when on. The bonnet is gorgeous. The traveling outfit with this spencer and bonnet is amazing! A+ |

Ditto the above from irishnurse - the color is gorgeous, and the fabrics used are just wonderful. I think the weight of the hat is similar to that from Addy's purple Sunday dress, although much softer fabric and not as stiff. The ribbon that ties on is a little thin, both in width and texture, but it does stay tied, so not too slippery. Pics!

I just love this set! Caroline hasn't tried it on yet, but the jacket is just a little bit tight on my Maddie (#24). Otherwise, it's perfect. The fabric is nice and thick. The hat is adorable, both on and off the doll. Grade: A+  |

I LOVE the Spencer and Hat. The color is vibrant, but in a very good way. As stated in my Travel Dress review, it is pink with pizzazz. I love the thick, wool-like material they used for the spencer. It isn't just a cute accessory; it really would keep Caroline snug and warm out on the water. The hat is just perfect. It's a perfect shape, and it's stiff and pretty crush-proof. Just a really beautiful set. These together with the Travel Dress are one of the most impressive outfits I've ever seen from AG. I'd say it's definitely worth the price tag.

Love the spencer and hat. It is a rich color, and very thick fabric. Had no problem getting in on, and it is very sturdy. She looks warm and adorable in her outfit. A+
