This butterscotch/camel/caramel widebrim hat is flat out fabulous! It is hand blocked over a vintage hat block and hand sewn with many tiny stitches. The crown (top) of the hat comes to a soft point and the brim has a slight down turn. Millinery wire is sewn inside of the brim edge to help the hat keep it's shape. The band and brim edge is a gorgeous hand dyed silk ribbon. It's finished with a three loop now, two pretty beaded sequin flowers, coordinating feathers and a large bow of vintage netting. An inner adjustable grosgrain headband helps avoid damage from makeup. Gorgeous in every way!

Place a flexible tape measure around the widest part of your head above your ears and eyebrows, where the hat will sit. Take this measurement three times to make sure it’s accurate. Generally speaking, a small range is 20-21 inches; medium is 21 ½ to 22 ½ inches and large is 23 to 24 inches.
