The most jaunty shape in felt bon
nets is that with close princesse brim,
slightly pointed Normandy crown, and
curtain band. This comes in all dark

do their own millinery are advised to
purchase this simple stylish shape, and
trim it with dark plaid ribbon and some
India cashmere feathers; the Alsacian
bow, strings, and curtain band are the
appropriate trimming. To make this
bow stylishly it must have two long
narrow loops falling down on each side
of the brim, and be tightly strapped
across the top.
