1905 Mourning Hat

I built the structure out of buckram and wire, covered it with silk and it’s lined with navy viscose lining and striped grosgrain ribbon.  I made the flowers out of (sadly) polyester ribbon; there aren’t a lot of sources for silk ribbon in Edmonton.

    Beautiful hat! That’s one thing we didn’t make in-house at Fort William, since they were beaver or wool felt shaped (1815).
