Felicity's hat and brocade slippers- I bought these because they are going to be bundled and I have the dress. I am glad I have them to match the dress but can't figure out how to tie the hat so it stays on. I know it should be tied behind her head, but can't get it right. I think the shoes are ugly. But they match the outfit, so she probably will like them.

Felicity's undergarments- How do you put these on correctly? I did the stays and the larger pockets. Is there just an extra pocket for when you want a flatter look to the dress? The pockets that puff out the skirt really add to the look. And maybe the stays will help with PM chubbyness in some of the newer outfits. The funniest part is that the brochure that came with it advertised the trunk and winter amusements as available in the catalog.

For a child, the hat can be tied under the chin or behind the head. You'll want to have her hair in a ponytail and tie the bow under the ponytail holder/ribbon. Put Felicity's feet between your thighs, and turn her upside down, face down. Flop the ponytail toward the floor, place the hat on her head, bring the ribbons toward you and then you should be working with the bow making job facing you. (Man, does that make any sense?)

It is also correct to tie the hat so the sides are near her ears; I've actually never seen a woman or child at a reinactment with the hat as large as Felicity's straight out to the sides.

There is a album around on how to put on the undergarments but I don't have it bookmarked. A search should produce it. The basic order is stays with the laces in the back, and then the other two pieces tied around the waist, or just a pinch below (depending on how long-bodied your Felicity is). I put the pocket on last, but I don't know if that's really "correct" or if it matters. I try to tie one to the left of Felicity's spine and one to the right so the back of her dress doesn't lay funny on all the bows in one place.

Have fun with all your new goodies!
