The dress - The dress is good and bad, and I'll start with the bad first. It is quite tight! I hadn't heard of this particular outfit being tight but it is, and rather short too even with the pantalettes. The fabric also feels kind of cheapy, like a bedsheet or something and not the usual soft fabric of Josefina's other dresses. So that's a bummer. HOWEVER, I love the design, colors, and pattern! I think it is a really unique dress in Josefina's collection and I honestly prefer it to her canon Christmas dress. So I wish it was longer and different fabric but I'm still glad I got it. 
B+
The stockings - These are also smallish, but not like I couldn't get them on her feet. They are actually very nice and even though they are thinner than her Christmas stockings, I like to imagine they are a fancier pair Tia Dolores brought from Mexico City.
A-
The shoes - I don't know why everyone seems to have trouble with these - I didn't. Yes they are small (and make Josefina's feet look very small!) but they are squishy leather which you can easily shove her foot in. Then again, I have a 2004 girl for a 2009 outfit so maybe that makes a difference. I really like these shoes - possibly better than her Christmas shoes - and the bows are nice detail that you see on a lot of real shoes from this period. A
