Movie Dress (retired)

I just got this with free shipping last month. What on earth is the hat made out of? Only one person here has mentioned that it is some kind of foam-esque material that, in my opinion, is incredibly unattractive. It almost looks like it was made out of a styrofoam cup with some flimsy netting & fake flowers added! I haven't tried any of it on Rebecca yet, so I can't speak to the whole ill-fitting shoes/hat issue, but if you are feeling a little bit on the fence about this outfit, I'd really recommend trying to take a good look at it in person before committing so you can see how you feel about that hat material.

PS--Skukla, how did you do Rebecca's up-do in the photo with the pinwheel? It looks GORGEOUS!
