I wasn't expecting to like any of Caroline's clothes, but I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it. Of course it doesn't hurt that I love purple. 
Lanie is standing in as my "Caroline".

The fabric is a thick, woven fabric. The flower pattern isn't embroidered or ironed on. It's more like it woven in. Here's a view with the hem flipped up so you can see both sides.

The headband matches Lanie's hair perfectly.

It does have that obnoxiously big tag, but I just rolled it up and tucked it under the headband. That works for now. I may end up cutting it off at some point.

The gloves were a little snug the first time I put them on. But it was easier the second and third time.

The one thing I don't like about the gloves is the tag on the inside. The gloves are so tight that the tag is visible and leaves a fairly ugly lump.
The shoes are some of the prettiest shoes that AG has ever made. I'd love to have a pair for myself.

Please excuse the indecent ankle picture. ;D I was having trouble getting the shoes on over a pair of Addy's (or Cécile's) white knee high socks. I eventually did get the shoes on with the socks, but it took a lot of effort and a large paper clip.
I'm hoping they'll stretch out over time.
