Dear all,
I was asked by a friend about the correct name for a hat type worn by women in
late 19th century England. And while I do historical costuming, the 19th
century is really not my thing, so I thought I would ask the experts here.
She described it as a small top hat, bigger and flatter
Lena,
Names of hats changed alot in the '80s '90s. Sometimes the latest
fashionable name was applied to a different style. (Funny. that still
happens today!)
I'd have your friend look into store catalogs for the period place
social milieu she's interested in. Catalogs are useful in that
