This outfit is worn by Caroline in the book A Surprise for Caroline. It was released in 2012 and retired with archival in 2015.
Caroline wears her finest gown on Christmas Day. Make sure she's festive and fancy in this outfit, which features: A gown that would fit right in at a party set in 1812—it has jacquard stripe in shades of purple, floral detailing, a lavender ruched neckline, and a decorative buckle at the empire waist. A braided hairpiece trimmed in gold to sweep back her long curls. Elegant white gloves and embroidered shoes to complete her festive look.
Caroline's Holiday dress took me by surprise! Well, kinda. Her gloves are ugly and I won't be using them - they're shiny satin and just look weird.
Her dress is actually a gorgeous woven jacquard type fabric, with alternating bands of plum and light plum, and roses woven in between. The satiny neckline is wide and ruffly, very cute! The buckle is heavy, pretty sure it's plastic but it could pass for metal (so a good plastic!) I've attached a close-up, as the stock photo makes it look quite cheap and really it uses nice material.
(the close-up will be back, it for some reason keeps posting as HUGE, in the meantime it's available in the same album!)
And the shoes, for good measure:
