A couple weeks ago I promised a gallery of Edwardian hats--so here I am, making good on it. =) What I love about hats of this era is the sheer variety. From wide-brimmed and elaborate to close-fitting and simple, there was no one style, there were dozens.

And of course, a super-excellent example (LOL--ahem) . . .
LOVE these. And I only have one question - those protective goggles - what are they protecting FROM? Hmmm. (and you look lovely in YOUR hat, though my absolute fave is the turban one - though I'm not sure why :))
ReplyDeleteLOL, Joanne--the goggles were for driving. Many early cars didn't have much by way of glass or roofs, so the goggles were to protect from wind and bugs. =)
ReplyDeleteLove these! Gorgeous outfit, Roseanna. I love all the lace detail on the hem.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia! Believe it or not, the dress is super comfortable too. =) The hat, not so much, LOL. Talk about heavy!
DeleteI wish our culture would wear hats, real hats-not ballcaps, still. Hats with elegance and lace. With color and fun. With wide brims, satin ribbons, and decorative freshly cut flowers. Match that with a hoop skirt, dancing shoes, and a silk shawl and we are good to go! (Can you tell I LOVE the Civil War era?)
