Hola! Sorry for the lack of AG clothing posts -- got derailed by other assignments.
The dress is A-line and flares out a bit too much -- making it look baby-ish (which it's technically supposed to look baby-ish, haha) -- so we added the belt to pull the waistline in and give it a more sophisticated look. So if you buy the dress thinking it will look exactly like this on your 18" doll -- make sure you add in a belt.
We love the red corduroy of the dress, the structure of the neckline and sleeves, the contrast stitching, and we can live with the floral embroidery appliques. We wish AG would create 18" shirts and dresses with that much attention to detailed, fashionable necklines and sleeves.
The boots are very nicely made, and have a trendy, equestrian look to them. They are lined with white fabric on the inside, but still have black stitching- so I would be careful not to leave them on a doll too long or the thread dye may transfer to the vinyl.
You have to be mindful of dark, black, and red threads, vinyls, and fabrics as they can transfer their dyes and stain your dolls. Not that these boots do that -- they might not-- but still something to keep in mind.
The set also comes with a pink knit beret and tan vinyl boots. The hat fits the 18" girls but Angelina told us it didn't go with her outfit (why would you put a pink hat with a red dress?). The boots do not fit the 18" girls.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for visiting us today!!!

This dress looks so cute on Angelina! I might need S (Amerigirl) to go and pick up one of those for me. I agree with you that the sleeves and neckline are totally awesome.

Where did you get the belt though. It really makes the outfit.
The belt is from Liberty Jane when they were selling belts as accessories. Forever 18 Inches on Etsy makes belts sometimes, and the All Dolled Up Doll Clothing website by Terrie offers belts.
Would you mind showing us a picture with the hat on, just to see for fit, etc? (Not necessarily with this outfit, whatever you like it with.)
Sure, the hat is currently sitting next to me in a box. So it will be easy enough to do that for you soon. :)
I think that the beret was meant to bring out the subtle pink in the embroidered flowers... a very thoughtful idea. Something to admire, in my opinion.
