Julia: One of a Kind Lavender Bonnet

While earlier bonnets of the 19th Century had lower brims, by mid-century Spoon Bonnets, which featured increasingly high brims and more elaborate trimmings, became the vogue. This low crowned spoon bonnet is made of tightly braided straw and features pointed edges on the brim, to allow for at "curtain" (bavolet) in the back to protect the neck from sun.

This bonnet is one of a kind, trimmed in new and vintage lace and lavender trim with lavender flowers.

This bonnet's measurements are as follows:
Brim=7.5" deep, Point to Point (over the top of the brim)=24", crown=5" across

Julia is also available as an untrimmed straw bonnet for your decorating pleasure.
