An understated and elegant take on a classic cloche style, this beauty is blocked from a lovely, light gray-blue parasisal straw. It has a simple, slightly flared brim with a bit of a kick up in the back and is trimmed with a band of some very special silver-white Mokuba ribbon from my stash. (The Mokuba store from which I bought this ribbon in NYC has closed, and this is the last I have of this beautiful, beautiful stuff. Sigh.) The cockade adornment is made from the same ribbon and is accented at center with a single iridescent glass crystal. You can easily wear this hat either day or night, to a coffee date or to a formal wedding--and will look very lovely indeed while doing so!
Blocked on a 23-inch cloche block, this hat will best fit a 23-inch head. Please don't hesitate to ask me any hat-sizing questions you may have!

I'm so glad you asked! Avoid wearing a straw hat in wet weather because it will quickly lose its shape in the rain. You may also find that some dyed straws' colors will run when wet.
Avoid getting fabric trims like silk flowers, ribbon ornaments and veils wet as these can still look droopy even after they dry again.
If a felt hat becomes wet, stuff it loosely with tissue before allowing it to dry. If your felt looks dull or dusty, you can use a bristle brush to brush up the nap again.
To store, stuff your hat loosely with tissue paper to hold its shape, and put it in its hat box away from dust and sunlight. Never hang a hat or keep it on a stand or its shape could become distorted over time.
