Like Skulka, I bought this as a summer outfit for Felicity. It really is a pretty dress - I especially love the cute bow. However, besides the historical inaccuracy with the lace and color, this dress has one big problem - that darn cheap fabric snags like crazy. My dress came from eBay, and it's snagged all over the place.
There's the shoes, too. As EofA pointed out, they're really rather silly for a "walk in the countryside." At the very least, they're nice and stiff and made from a decent fabric, and they fit very well, even over the historically accurate stockings (and on my Lissie's big PM feet).
By far the best reason to get this outfit is the hat. It's silky and smooth, and though it may not go with other outfits, it looks gorgeous on its own and with the dress.
The delicate fabric makes this iffy for very young girls, but for collectors who have Elizabeth or Felicity and aren't bothered by historical inaccuracy, this is a lovely summer dress that looks good on both dolls.
