This outfit was worn by Nellie in the DVD Samantha: An American Girl Holiday, and by Samantha in the first edition of Samantha's Surprise. Released in 2004, retired with archival in 2008.
Nellie never imagined owning a coat this fine! It features a stylish shoulder cape and matching hat with spotted faux-fur trim. Warm red mittens keep her fingers nice and toasty. Includes trading cards.Holiday Coat $24 NROC Grade: B  As you can see Nellie loves her coat. It is charming and makes her eyes sparkle.It is a wonderful, ful length coat with a cape. Coat closes with snaps and has buttons on the outside of the garment. The cape is unattached and closes with two cords at the neck. All of this is finished off with a spotted faux fur trim.  Nellie aslo has two red knit mittens with a cord that keeps them easy to find. They pull through the sleeves of the coat.  I give this a B because it is tight in the sleeves. We were barely able to slip her arms in when she has her holiday dress on. I also give it that because the satin lining where the hat rolls up is to large and shows past the fur.The last reason is because the cape could have had a few snaps to keep it from being lost. The cord ties, while pretty and shiney, slip from theor bows and come loose easily.
