Oh, man. I had wanted this dress since approximately forever, and it came today. I don't have Josefina (yet... although soon...), but my Marisol is currently wearing this. (Looks gorgeous on her... will post pics later.) She's wearing it with Addy's work shoes since I don't have Josefina's white mocs and they were the only non velour (lol) slip on shoes I had handy in an appropriate color scheme. It's a pretty cute combo, tbh.
I love this dress. The fabric is thick enough to not feel cheap, but still an appropriate thickness for spring/early summer. The print is just gorgeous, and the scalloped trim is the perfect touch. I feel like it's a tad shorter than I'd prefer, but when I get the Christmas outfit, she'll wear the combination undergarment from that set with this one.
The jacket is cute. The material isn't quite what I expected, but it's still nice. The buttons are real, but they are a little difficult to undo, not unlike Rebecca's school sweater. There's a little plastic snap on the jacket's bottom tab... plastic snaps always *feel* fragile and like they're just about to break, so I would exercise caution with that one. I would have preferred a metal snap, or even velcro. (I know... boooo hisss)
A+ for the dress, B for the jacket, A- for the set.
