* This retro cloche hat was made with loving care probably in the 1960's. The sides are gathered gracefully to create a sculptural effect. The top of the hat is a flat round piece sewn to the sides. The hat is lined with white quilted fabric that helps it to keep its shape.
* The best part are the fantasy wing shapes, like two round bunny ears that are pinned to the side. You can leave them pinned or sew them into place. I'm intrigued by the thought that the original maker moved them around, maybe to different angles depending on her mood. The wing fabric shapes are lined with a stiff material that could be a lightweight plastic, so they can stick straight out.
