I was surprised with how much I like this outfit. It's really pretty! The gown's material is great, thick and doesn't feel cheap. The color is lovely on Lissie. And the hat, frankly, is the stuff my geeky little dreams are made of. 
I like to put the lace cap from the gala gown under the hat just for that period appropriate detailed sort of look.
The shoes are okay. They're pretty, but it's hard to get them on over stockings. And my Lissie never goes without stockings, so the shoes have to be almost forced. The dress is also a tad shorter than I'd like.
I'd give this set an A-.
ETA: I notice that most people tie the ribbon on the hat behind her head. This looks better, but I can never get it to stay on like that. My Lissie's head is just slippery or rounder or something, I guess (lol).
