This vintage text serves as a comprehensive guide to the art of designing and crafting women’s hats, particularly those intended as a complement to mourning attire. Rich in detail, the book features elaborate diagrams and photographs, making it a valuable resource for contemporary milliners and enthusiasts of historical fashion and clothing. Chapters within this text delve into various aspects of hat design, such as ‘Veils’, ‘Hemming and Bordering Veils’, ‘Hats and Toques’, and more. Selected for modern republication due to its historical and educational significance, this antique text is reintroduced with a new introduction to provide context and insight into the topic.
