This is one of my favorite gowns of Felicity's. I remember seeing it in the catalog when my oldest was younger (too young for AG), and I'm not sure when it retired, but I think it must have been before she got her Felicity, because although she has quite a few of Felicity's outfits, she does not have this one.
I got this as part of a poorly photographed lot from Ebay. I wondered if one of the dresses was the work gown, and was SO excited when I pulled it out of the box. I only have the dress and the apron. I am planning on making the fichu. I don't think I will make a mob cap though, because I have a spare plain one that I think will work fine.
I give this set an A. I love the styling, which is like her original meet dress, and something about the homespun look of the fabric is very appealing to me. I guess I like that it is a dress, but it is not "dressy". The only issue I have is that it is seriously tight on our PM Felicity (I am not sure that we could fit a shift under it, never mind her undergarments). It fits DD's newer Felicity fine though.
