This outfit is worn by Josefina in the BeForever books Sunlight and Shadows, Song of the Mockingbird, and Secrets in the Hills. It replaced the original meet in the BeForever relaunch in 2014.
Josefina's Outfit
Josefina greets each beautiful morning and dresses for a day of baking, gardening, and learning to make medicines. This authentic 1824 New Mexican outfit features:
A white camisa edged in lace
A bright-red skirt printed with a sprinkling of tiny blue wildflowers
A beautiful blue woven sash
Soft white drawers
Faux-leather moccasins with laces
My Josefina needed more clothes, so I was happy to pick up her only major release in BeForever's Phase I. This is more-or-less the same thing as her original meet outfit, except with a different, brighter skirt and sash. The camisa, moccasins, and plain white boxers are unchanged. The new skirt is really pretty though, a bright red with brilliant blue flowers (not polka-dots, as was originally believed) and two orange-y stripes trimmed with more flowers along the bottom. The sash is bright blue and has a woven look to it. The skirt and camisa seem to fit her pretty well.
Part of the reason I bought this was for the moccasins. The PM meet outfit I bought Josefina on eBay came with real leather moccasins that were falling apart. These are a soft suede-esque material, very fake, but probably longer-lasting. However, I had a really hard time getting it on Josefina's feet over the socks from her Shoes and Socks set, and my Josefina is a Mattel doll with small feet. I'll have to try her sans socks as in the picture online next time.
If you have a Josefina who didn't come with a meet outfit, I think the skirt on this one is really pretty - the colors are gorgeous - and it comes with quite a bit for your buck. However, if you already have Josefina's original meet outfit, you might want to see if the skirt comes as a replacement part or hope it'll show up alone on the secondary market or eBay.
