Hat & Brocade Slippers (EAOB, Pleasant Company):
I ordered this set years ago and sent it back (and got Kirsten's lunch instead). I have since gotten a new set of PM shoes.
The hat looked nice enough sitting in the box, wide brimmed straw with the pretty two-tone roses and the blue ribbon. However it looked awful on the doll. The hat was not quite round, more of an oval and the crown (?) was lopsided and almost completely flat, it was basically a straw disc perched on her head. Looking at everyone's pictures (and remembering the off shape) I am sure I got a defective one, but at the time I didn't really think about it and it got sent back.
The shoes (the old pair and the one I have now) were one of my most favourite things for Felicity. They are single-lasted like they are meant to be, the brocade is beautiful, they fit my Felicity doll and they go perfectly with the summer dress and look good with so many others. I have spent all the time since I returned that set wishing I hadn't even though the hat was awful.
