Caroline's coat is a deep sapphire color, with velvet accents and tiny metal-look (but made of plastic) buttons. The top straps and belt close with velcro in addition to the coat itself. The only thing that bugs me is that the buttons used have a fairly "deep" back on them, and thus tend to wiggle or hang down like a loose tooth. There's also a bit of black thread holding them onto their straps, and it protrudes on the back side and looks messy. Otherwise it's so, so darling! I had a hard time getting the coat over another outfit, so shamefully, my doll went commando underneath! The coat is long though, so no one will ever know. The hat is also cute, with a miniature velvet box surrounding the faux fur brim. It actually fits ONTO the doll's head, unlike Rebecca's funky hat! Rosalie with nothing under coat:  Quilla with MyAG angora sweater and skirt Hanukkah set underneath (could barely close it):

I have not put this on a doll yet, so see the above review for fit. I think the color is just stunning, and would look good on any doll. The coat and hat are made of a thick wool. The hat has velvet and faux fur trim, and the coat has velvet trim. I am very impressed with the quality of both pieces.

This set is lovely. I had zero problems getting it over Caroline's meet and travel dresses. It feels very warm, but it looks like it will become a lint trap very quickly. The hat goes on easily without smushing her curls. A for the set.

This coat and hat set is simply special. It immediately reminded me of Samantha's white hat and muff, which I always drooled over as a kid because it was so elegant. Well, this set has gone above and beyond. The thick wool will keep Caroline toasty, and the sumptuous velvet accents and brass-colored buttons are just perfect. The fur on the collar and hat is white and soft, but short enough where it won't get matted or ratty with age. I appreciate the fact that the band isn't too tight, so it can fit over curls and hairstyles with minimal damage. The hat and coat paired with the Ice Skating Set is absolute magic!  A++ again. Sorry to be boring, but I can't say anything bad about anything in Caroline's wardrobe! Annie in Winter Coat (wm) by scarlett1854, on Flickr Beautiful Annie in Cozy Winter Warmies!

This outfit is so cute! I agree that it was no issue to fit it over any of Caro's clothes. The dark blue is simply stunning. It would look great on any skin tone.
Pictures soon hopefully

Sometimes a photo says it all. I love this outfit and the color is so nice with Carolines eye color. The hat fits nicely. It seems elegant to me.
