<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4431940, member: 13464&quot;]LOL... OMG! You guys are a hoot!&nbsp; Now, about the hat... it kind of looks like something Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies would have worn for a fancy occasion! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My question is about the &quot;lacy edge&quot;.&nbsp; It must be wired. Is it wired with a stiff enough wire that it doesn&#039;t bend easily; or is it a real soft bendy wire? </p><p><br /></p><p>It &quot;seems&quot; like it would have been curled slightly at the sides and curled up a bit at the back to go over a updo... and straighter at the front.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the lace all the same width - or narrower at the back and sides?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m picturing late 1800&#039;s... but it truly seems an oddity.&nbsp; Late 1890&#039;s were tiny hats perched smack on the center of the head - with a fairly wide brim which they festooned... and sometimes dropped a net veil off the front. Earlier 1860&#039;s were dinky hats meant to set on the back of the head and the decoration on the brim stood more upright... </p><p><br /></p><p>Truly an oddity!</p><p>Cheerio, Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
