Belle is a lovely Mid-Victorian style spoon 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 high 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 one of a kind bonnet is made with vintage lace and trimmed in stunning deep mauve ribbons and roses with a final flourish of pink feathers.
Belle is also available as an untrimmed straw bonnet for your decorating pleasure.
