My version of the Traveling Gown is the new meet Gown and was purchased in early 2008. Overall this dress is pretty and looks quite nice on Lissie. Now for the nitty gritty break down:
This outfit includes a purple and white striped dress, a white shift, white socks, white mob cap with purple and white ribbon and black shoes.
The dress is very beautiful. The purple is a nice light lilac color. The white sections have small lilac pin stripes going down them as well. The neckline and sleeves have a sort of fake lace lining them. There are what appear to be three growth stripes at the bottom of the dress (not sure if they did this in Lissie's time) and one on the sleeve. The fabric is a nylon/windbreaker type material, but it is not bad enough to destroy the pretty look of the dress though.
Here is a close up of the fake lace, color scheme and one of the embroidered flowers that dot the dress. The really add a sense of spring to the whole outfit.
Lissie's basic white shift comes with the Meet dress. It is rather nice. It fits well under her clothes (at least the pieces i have). I also use it as nightgown for now as i don't have hers yet. It works well. It is not too see through, but not so think that you would really notice it under her clothes.
The mob cap is really darling. Not really sheer, but not thick, about the same material as her shift. The only complant i have is that though the purple and right ribbon is really cute, it makes the cap not able to match her other clothes very well.
The socks that come with the meet outfit. They are actually really nice and thick. The go all the way up to Lissie's knees. They are hard to fit on with the pink tea lesson slippers, but it is possible. they fit well with the christmas dress shoes. Overall they are nice socks.
The shoes are really nice. The soles are thick and the shoes slide on really easy. The buckle in the front is so cute. I really have to look though to make sure they are on the right feet, which would be a nod to the fact that in Lissie's time they did not have right and left shoes.
Overall i think this outfit is really nice. I do think that the Rose Garden dress was the better Meet dress, but as an outfit the Traveling Gown is quite nice. I give it an A.
