But as blind as I am, I'm having trouble figuring out if the hat has a "top"--it looks "empty" inside the wrap of feathers... unless the band that I can see toward the rear of the image, below the top row of feathers, has fabric extending throughout the inside of the "circle", comprising the "top" that I'm so confused about?
At any rate, my quotation marks and I thank your for this lovely illustration! xoxo
Actually, it looks like it simply wraps around the top of the head. I don't think there is a top to the hat. I believe it's just a wrap. Anyway, that's what it looks like to me.
That was how I perceived it, too, but I wasn't sure if that style was in vogue when ostrich feathers were popular in the millinery world. It was probably worn at an angle on the head, in a "fetching" sort of way, instead of flat on the top. xoxo
Ooh, how pretty and elegant!

ReplyDeleteYes, I can see it worn that way. I think it'd be much more attractive that way :-)
