- In this second installment of my American Girl outfit accuracy video, we are looking at the two characters from the early 1800s -- Caroline and Josefina -- and determining if their outfits are accurate or not.

It would be fun to 'remake' them in a more historical style if you get between projects and decide to make more clothes for AG dolls
Yes!
that would be so cool!
This is such a fun and interesting series. You can really tell the quality is higher on the Josefina dresses vs the Caroline ones. I absolutely adore the Josefina meet dress, and those woven belts on her earlier dresses.
I love Caroline, Felicity , Kirsten all historical character and and I am in love with there clothes.
Watched the video about Felicity yesterday and am watching this one today. Thank you so much for this series! I’ve always wondered how accurate these characters were since I was little. Your videos are so educational and informative! I love learning about the clothes that were worn back then.
I love this series showcasing doll fashions; the tiny details are delightful. Those sweet little buttons would be hard to close. Having said that, I would rather have that detail than not. Your dolls have spectacular wardrobes, and I am enjoying every minute of these videos!
Have a great weekend,
xoxo's Sandie😊🌷
I love this series of videos.
Ahh! This series gives me so much joy and nostalgia! 🥰 Josefina's outfits are some of the most beautiful imo. I wish she had been available when my sister and I got our dolls, but the only ones out then were Felicity, Samantha, and Molly. Jenn got Samantha and I got Molly 😅 our neighbor had Felicity (including the bed!) and later Kirsten (with the trunk). Such good times!
Caroline was just Bridgerton bounding 😂
I love these videos!! I only have Kirsten and was my favorite (they only had Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly when I first got into the dolls) so I can’t wait to see that video!! I remember getting the catalogs and wanting the kid clothes that matched.
I had the Kirsten doll too! I loved collecting all the accessories!
It’s so funny that there’s this era where everyone was like, you know what, forget the hoops and padding and strangling stays/corsets, we are just gonna wear jammies and flats for a couple decades. To me, most regency dresses all look like nightgowns or a casual dress you would wear today. And from videos I’ve watched, their bust support was a lighter version of a corset or even something more resembling the modern bra. It’s like they almost stumbled into modern dress but then took a u-turn into another century of elaborate long dresses, corsets, layers of petticoats, etc.
My favorite is the salmon/melon coloured jacket ensemble. I love the colour 💖 also the vail on the last outfit, so pretty! Although it looks a little misplaced to me as it reminds me of mourning outfits.
I don’t have Josefina, but I have her doll Niña in the Christmas outfit and she’s so cute.
Nice video. I'll defend Mattel on the tags on things like their headbands. US has laws that require those tags. They have to say the type of fiber the item is made of. They have to say the country of origin. They have to say the company that made them or marketed them. They have to have the year on them. They usually have some number (not sure what it's for). They don't have to do it for headbands that are completely plastic. They don't have to do it for shoes that are completely plastic.
I worked at Toys R Us for years, and I remember one time, we had a surprise inspection from a government worker on our pillow aisle to make sure every pillow (we had a bunch of character pillows) had proper tags from the manufacturers. Took that guy forever to inspect every single pillow.
I don't care about the tags and cut them right off. I have no plans to sell. Maybe when I get in my 70s. I buy these things all the time where others have cut them off. Makes no difference to me.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. Thank you for sharing.
Caroline's work dress is sort of a guilty pleasure for me, since it reminds me of Marie Antoinette abd her "playing farm" so to speak.
Also, is it just me or is Nellis so cute no matter what she wears, like, dang girl go off
Very pretty outfits, even though not all of them were historically accurate. Seeing these American Girl outfits makes me want to create a fictional character who history-bounds some of the dresses.
I think Regency (or Napoleonik, which is the more common term in Germany) really is underwhelming compared to both earlier and later fashions. That said... I liked Josefinas chemise and skirt combinations and I ADORE Carolines coat. As you have it and can see it up close, do you think it could be made with BlackSnail's Redingote pattern?
Also... how can you make me wait A MONTH for the 1850's? The different Victorian fashions are my absolute favourites and waiting that long seems a bit like torture. Really REALLY looking forward to them!
You'd want to make it front opening all the way down, but yes, I think otherwise that pattern would probably work well.
The Victorian era is my favorite too! I would love to see that soon!
Josefina was a character I never paid attention to; she was released around the time I started losing interest in dolls. But seeing the details on those chemise/skirt/sash outfits is fascinating!
I love this series so much and am so grateful you're continuing it. Someday I'd love to hear your thoughts on the outfits that you don't own, too!
Thanks! I'm going to be putting a couple of Addy's outfits I don't own into the next video. In hindsight, I definitely should have talked about Kirsten's promise dress in this video, since, based on the pictures I've seen of it, it's really pretty great.
I'm reading the original Caroline 6 books right now for the first time. I think I only read her meet book.but it's a long time ago.
The last undies shown seems scary, if you had to go to the bathroom it would be a disaster! (lol)
Very true!
I like this series. These dolls are cute.
Always loved her in my Josefina in her Christmas dress. I only had her Christmas outfit with the little head thing. I forget how you said it was pronounced and her main come with outfit which is the I forget how you pronounce to get a top piece that went down and in the skirt. Of course I had the shoes for both and that was it But I preferred her Christmas outfit on her over her come with outfit. I got mine in the early 2000s OK maybe it’s mid to thousands no later than 2006 that’s for sure. But I agree her Christmas outfit Josefina’s Christmas stuff. It was my favorite too for her.
I love your series. Is there a seller that makes reproductions of the retired AG historical outfits?
Thanks! I think probably? I would check Etsy.
Caroline being in pink kinda works sense she was kinda a tomboy of her time but yeah not sure if it existed tho just her being in a boys color is kinda fun
Cosplay joesafina next with her summer outfit the riding outfit with the leather vest and the big hat
I love joesafina birthday dress the feast Day outfit
I absolutely love this series and can't wait to see the next one! I agree, Caroline's blue coat is the best piece of her wardrobe. I absolutely love that deep blue color! I'm really glad so much of Josefina's stuff is historically accurate, as I have her patterns downloaded and am hoping to find her for a cheap price to fix up and make a wardrobe for. Also I agree with another commenter on here about remaking their outfits to be more accurate. As I mentioned on the first video about Felicitys wardrobe, I plan to make Elizabeth's clothes using Felicitys patterns so they'll be more historically accurate, since poor Elizabeth got jipped out of those details. To make Caroline's dresses more historically accurate, wouldn't most of them just need to be longer, as that seemed to be the issue you pointed out the most?
I think longer, and also in lighter colors.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions so like light blues and light pinks instead of of richer pinks and blues? I know there's a lot of pictures of white dresses from then, but I'm curious about what other colors would have been common, like would they have used any rich vibrant colors for their dresses? Or was it all light and airy? I'm really not sure where to look for correct regency attire as so much of it online is about bridgerton, so that's not exactly helpful.
@@kelseypeterson5172 tbh, children were nearly always in white! But other light colors were likely worn too.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions ok, thank you! 😊 I want to get Caroline someday so I've been trying to slowly figure out what would be accurate for her😊
I would like to see video about AG historical character.
Wow there is a lot more to this than I knew.
please make more. i'd love to see cecile and marie grace
I'm editing that one now! 😉
Kit was released in 2000 and Kaya in 2002 however they being researched still under pleasant company
Love Caroline’s fashion and her story.
I feel like her stories are so underrated!
How about patterns for proper doll clothing? Proper accessories? Would welcome that. Thanks
I've mentioned them in other videos, but I highly recommend the Pemberly Threads patterns!
I love Josefina Christmas dress is my favorite
I wonder if Caroline's short run as a doll has anything to do with the 200th anniversary of the war of 1812. I live in the Great Lakes region, and there were LOTS of celebrations and events for the Bicentennial of the war of 1812.
It's possible!
I was gifted some stage costumes when I was little. From my great uncles neighbor. It had a nice purple dress with a bonnet kinda like the first one. I unfortunately lost them in a house fire. It was a very strange situation. We were moving from this old house. We had most of are stuff out. We were planning on getting the rest the next day. We stayed at the new place. Then, in the old place, the furnace caught on fire and burnt what was left in the basement. We were lucky we stayed at the new place. We didn't loose to much.
Oh wow, that's scary. It's good that you already had most of your stuff out, and you weren't at home!
The later the hisocals in the Mattel aera the least actirite they are and made cheaper
If the camera has face detection that can be turned on or off try turning it off and it may focus on other details easier
I'll look into that, thanks.
I've never taken to Caroline - not because of the character, or the doll itself, but more because all her dresses look more like 1970's maxi dresses and 1812 dresses, to me at least, although the other garments, like the spencers do look more "Regency" to me. All in all, I think Josephina's summer riding and party dresses work far better for the "Regency" look than any of Caroline's.
Yeah, I think it's because her colors are so off.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions Yeah, and I think there's somethingoff about the actual cut/style of the dresses too, though I'd be hard pressed to define exactly what.
You are so gorgeous
Please do all the Historicals in your series even if you don't have all the Historicals ID love to see if the later dolls were more actorite.
By the time I get to some of the later years, I'll have all of them through Maryellen with the possible exception of Nanea.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions cool I can see why you skipped nanea since she's 1941 the start of ww2. Molly story takes place 3 years later and she's the orginal ww2 histocal doll I'm sure afew things have changed in the style of clothes from 1941 and 1944 along with nanea being in Hawaii.
@@tinmanlover1994 I'll probably get to Nanea eventually, but I originally wasn't planning to collect any dolls set later than the 1910s. Then I got a white body Molly, which broke that rule, and then I wound up with Kit and Maryellen, and I'm getting Claudie next month.
@LadyRebeccaFashions cool can't wait to see the videos. Please do an all my doll's video
@@tinmanlover1994 I probably won't do an all my dolls, since this is still more a sewing channel than an AG channel, but all of them appear in my Felicity/Elizabeth outfit video! They're just wearing Felicity and Elizabeth's outfits. 😉
The pantalettes should be rather longer on the first lass
🇨🇦😃
The newer dolls have gotten smaller as in their body's have gotten slimmer the older Clothes are bigger on the new dolls then the newer doll Clothes are hard to get onto the older dolls or very snug or won't fit. older dolls feet are bigger than the Newer dolls feet are a bit smaller older doll shoes are big on new dolls and new shoes on older dolls wont fit.
I honestly haven't really had any issues with putting old dolls in the newer clothes.
I find dolls so terribly creepy, even as a child I did not see the appeal. To each their own though, glad you enjoy them.
Honestly, I find pretty much all other dolls creepy, just not American Girl.
