This outfit is absolutely stunning. I've wanted it ever since it came out in 2003, but it was so hard to find in a suitable price range for me! I finally snagged the almost complete set off of Ebay last week, and I couldn't be happier. All I need now is to get one for my own. 
Dress: A beautiful holly berry coloured velvet dress lined with satin. It has a slightly darker belt (at least on my dress) with a circular rhinestone buckle at the waist, and it has snowflakes on the hem made out of slight embroidery, and rhinestones. I think this dress is so elegant! A+
The dress:
Back of Dress:
The rhinestone belt:
Snowflakes at hem:
The shoes are holly berry velvet mules to match the dress and each have a bow on the side. In the center of each bow is one big rhinestone. The only problem with these shoes tend to be that they can slide off sometimes. B+
The shoes:
The coat is beautiful! It's made out of a creamish coloured suede fabric (I think) and is trimmed with faux fur along the neckline, hem, and sleeve cuffs. On the bottom on both sides of the coat, there's snowflake embroidery. The only problem I find with this coat is that it can be very hard to put on without causing the sleeves to get pushed up all the way to the dolls shoulders, making her look very odd. A
Coat:
Coat on doll:
I don't have the tights that came with this set so I used some of my own tights. I did hear about this set staining both the doll, coat and tights though, so I took some extra precautions to put my doll Breanna into this outfit.
The tights I have are not AG brand, and they happen to be very big. So to protect most of Breanna's body since I didn't have a slip, I pulled the tights all the way up to her chest as high as they could go. I then took some extra ballet legwarmers I have for my dolls, and slid them up each arm all the way to her shoulders to prevent her arms staining. She looks crazy in these but i'm hoping it'll work until I atleast get a slip.
I didn't keep the dress on long enough to know if this worked, but i'm hoping that once the holidays come by, and Breanna's stuck in the dress all December, that this helps against staining. As for keeping the coat staing free, i'm keeping both it, and the dress seperate in storage, and the coat will probably stay off most of the time.
Overall though, this set is beautiful. It's wonderful quality, and Breanna will be sure to wear it for many holidays to come. I give the whole set an A+.
