This outfit is worn by Caroline in the book Caroline's Secret Message. It was released in 2012 and retired with archival in 2015.
When the lake wind starts to blow, Caroline wears this wool-blend spencer jacket—it features a cropped silhouette, a popular style in the early 1800s; button details; and intricate decorations at the shoulders. She shades her eyes with a wide-brimmed felt hat adorned with a striped ribbon bow.
Caroline's Spencer Jacket, while adorable, was more than a little tight on my chubby MG, though it fit Rosalie (Cécile) just fine! Because of the style, the shoulders of any doll tend to look like a Linebacker... oh well! The peachy rose fabric is trimmed with a darker rosy red, very flattering and pretty. The fabric itself is thick, fuzzy woven material - like real suiting instead of cheap thin cotton. Yeah!
The hat is a tour de force! The style is so darling and looks especially cute with curls peeking out underneath. I personally think this set is worth buying just for her hat! It's just that cute! It's also quite firm, similar to the fabric in Ruthie's Play Outfit hat, I could see it getting crushed pretty easily so I'd recommend storing it safely when not in use.
