Pioneer Quebecoise Outfit for 18-Inch Dolls

Beautiful, so pleased with my purchase.

This is another fantastic outfit for Leonie. My niece is learning about her Canadian heritage and the Quebecoise outfit has been on her wish list since we got her Leonie. The pieces are beautifully sewn. The mantelet is lined and fits Leonie to a T. The skirt is nicely full and so is the chemise. From the bonnet to the shoes, Leonie looks ready to be a pioneer.

The star of this set is that mantalet/jacket. It is made of thick textured fabric with a full satin lining; the laces are sturdy and the construction is up to Maplelea's impressive standard. The shirt is thin but very historically accurate, long enough to be a nightshirt. Of course I wish the shoes had real buckets rather than stitched ones, but they are still nice shoes. The skirt is really pretty and also of thick material. My bonnet was a bit flattened from sitting in the box for, probably, years, but it might be my favorite piece after the jacket - there's even a tiny bow at the back! You also get A LOT in this set. The pieces in this set can be easily mix-and-matched with outfits from the 1700s and 1800s - for instance, the apron and bonnet look lovely with a Little House of the Prairie dress I have, and the skirt can even be part of a modern outfit.

When I go outside with Olivia,most of the time she is wearing Pioneer Quebecoise.Perfect for adventures.(Most of the time that's what we're doing.) :):)

I love Leonie and went across Canada with her all the way to her hometown of Quebec City. This outfit is amazing and I love it because it is so cute and very well made. The different pieces layer well and stay in place. Her apron is fun and can be used with different outfits. The white pieces wash well too after lots of use.
