This outfit was worn by Josefina in the books Josefina's Surprise and Josefina Learns a Lesson. Released as Christmas Dress & Mantilla in 1997 for $22, name changed to Holiday Outfit in December 2008, sold on clearance for $19 in April 2016. Replaced with Navidad Outfit in 2016.
Josefina saved her very best dress for the most blessed night of the year, la Noche Buena—Christmas Eve. Tía Dolores provided the elegant striped fabric. But Josefina chose the stylish pattern and sewed every stitch herself by hand! With it she wore ruffled pantalettes, white stockings, black slippers, and a fine lace mantilla, a veil held on with a fancy comb.
I love this outfit! It is very stylish, and I love the puffed shoulders! The Mantilla is just as nice as the dres.... the lace drapes so gracefully, and the little comb that goes into Josefina's hair is so beautiful! The little leather shoes are very sweet! I was very surprised with the pantelletes.... I thought it meant plain underwear! the little buttons and ribbons are very realistic! A++++++++++++++++++++++++ x 3005789907654!
