This creamy white straw sun hat is perfect for the Kentucky Derby enthusiast. It was hand blocked from a large vintage straw braid cartwheel.
After it was hand blocked, the brim was wired for shape. This hat has an extra wide brim and reminds me of Scarlet O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind."
The crown band and a huge bow were made from vintage fabric to accent the front side of the hat. The fabric is in shades of blue, white, teal, and green.
The finishing touch was to add large vintage silk flowers.
The inside is unlined but does have a grosgrain band. If you would like a comb or elastic added for extra stability please let me know upon purchase so I can add it to the hat before shipping.
