Hats
Hats.
The “flop” brim is the latest innovation in the world of hats. If this does not suit you, it is quite easy to wire and trim it for yourself with a fine roll of silk millinery wire in the same shade as the hat. Wire and bind the edge of the brim by sewing with an “over and over” stitch round the brim; take an inch-wide ribbon, commence at the back, and fold over the wired edge, half under and half above the brim, stretching as tightly as possible.
Trim the crown of the hat with the same-coloured ribbon.
