Made famous in such films as Anne of Green Gables, it is a great topper for your more durable Edwardian outfits. You can see a similar hat in this portrait by John Singer Sargent (Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Phelps Stokes, 1897.) Hat measures: 14" diameter, 6x7" top of crown, 4" deep crown, 23 3/4" around inside crown.
