Marie-Grace's elegant accessories help her stay cool in the hot New Orleans summers: A wide-brimmed hat with ribbons to tie under her chin blocks the sun from her fair skin. A heart locket to wear around her neck. A lacy fan provides a breeze on a warm day.
I'm so surprised no one has reviewed Marie-Grace's accessories yet! I'll try to do them justice.
Marie-Grace's accessories include: a wide brimmed hat with ribbon ties; heart locket; and lacy fan. They retail for $24.
The hat is off-white and made from a molded felt-like material. It is quite stiff. The ribbon ties and band/bow are satin-finish and the same shade of pink as Marie-Grace's hair bows. The hat band is tacked to the hat in a few strategic places and the ribbon ties are securely sewn-on.

I think it frames her face very attractively and doesn't muss up her hair too badly. The bow is a little weird IMO, with this third loop sticking up:

Her heart locket is brass finish with sort of a star design imprinted on the front. The chain is quite short, so that the locket does not lie on top of her gown but sort of nestles in at the neckline:

My children have enjoyed playing with the fan. It's ivory-colored plastic with a cording loop, bead, and fringe detail. The fan fabric is a very pretty floral print trimmed with lace. The top edge of the fabric is unfinished and is already fraying a bit. The loop of the fan does fit over her fingers as pictured, but we could not get her to hold her fan open as pictured in the catalog.
