I personally think it's better to finish the dolls you have and make them as amazing as possible before getting more, better to have one perfect doll than ten naked ones with no faceups or wigs. It's up to you to make the choice, think about how well it suits the dolls character and backstory and how much the doll would wear it. Something like this wouldn't be the best for any photo shoots in winter, another potential probelem with this particular outfit is that it's white and will get dirty easily especially at meetups, outdoor photos and even just from dust in the house. Maybe something like this but with a longer skirt in a darker colour would be better as it would still look good but be ok for winter and the dark colour wouldnt show as much dirt. You could get that outfit and fix the probelms yourself though a cute cape would help make it more wintry and you could dye it.

lol, well, my dolls don't really go anywhere except my room and possibly the living room of my house. I don't take them to meetups and they stay pretty clean in general. (Well, a few of them have been out on the front steps, too.)

She doesn't have a backstory yet, as she is fairly new and her personality hasn't really had a chance to develop much. (Some of my dolls never really get much of a "character" other than a name and a few basic personality traits... it feels like she is going to be one of those.)

I don't see what's wrong with having her dressed in white during the winter. Any winter photoshoots will take place inside my house, not out in the snow...

If I did buy the outfit, it would be the only thing she ever wore again. She would be considered "finished" and never receive another piece of clothing again.
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@

Ignore Miss Reckless I say get the outfit if it's what'd make YOU happy as her owner. I didn't intend to spend almost eighteen dollars on a wig for my 27cm girl but I did because I wanted her finished.

Well, I asked for advice because I'm so undecided about it...... Just because some of the advice I received is irrelevant to my decision doesn't mean it isn't a valid concern to the person who made the comment.

(I've actually spent quite a bit on wigs... and the most expensive ones ended up being for my tinies!)

I'm not sure whether the outfit will suit her character or not, but it is so beautiful and I waaaaaaant it~

..... but if it ends up not being a good outfit for Linka after all, I would probably end up buying another Picco Neemo just so the outfit doesn't go to waste. (Since it wouldn't fit on any of my other tinies... bitty bitsus are chubbier than Picco Neemo.)

I usually feel like if I'm undecided on something then I should at least wait on it for a week before I buy it. Usually if it's the perfect doll/wig/outfit there won't be any hesitation if you have the money I think.

The outfit is cute and has some nice details - I would have trouble spending that much on something that tiny though. Azone quality is pretty good, but it's still a mass produced item, so you won't get the same quality that you might from a one of a kind item from a higher end tailor for the same price.

Personally I'd draw the outfit I had in mind and start looking into commissioning someone:)

Well, if I DON'T buy the outfit for her, she will stay in the MH Cupid dress that she's wearing now.

lamia that dress is absolutely beautiful. i, personally, don't think that dress it too pricey. i've bought outfits for my girls that were cheaper, but i've also purchased outfits that have been quite expensive. to this date i think the most expensive one was like 75 dollars and worth every penny of it. i think if you really like the dress and you think it would look really good on your girl you should go for it.
