Mattel did an excellent job with these outfits- both are great representatives of the original. The satin is a higher quality than what Mattel uses for playline dolls. The red velvet is a bit stiff, but is plush and matte. The coat is lined with white satin (although not on the arms) which will help prevent staining if you put it on a vintage doll. The hat is nicely done, and is lined with a sheer red fabric. The dress is also well done, except for those annoying clear plastic 'sleeves' (which can be easily cut off). The bodice is lined with the same fabric as the hat, and the skirt is lined with a stiff white fabric that does double duty as a petticoat. Classic red open-toed shoes finish off the ensemble. My only real gripe is that the coat doesn't drape as well as it should when worn over the dress, although it looks perfect by itself.
