FABRIC/COLORS: Crown is finely woven white straw, not sure if it's real or synthetic. Brim is dark purple velvet.
TAGS: Madcaps, New York Paris
CONDITION: I see a single faint stain about 1/2" diameter on the white straw in the front of the hat, down near where the crown meets the brim - see close-up. There is a pattern of small crush marks on the velvet brim in the front of the hat that is noticeable only from certain angles and does not represent any sort of hole. Depending on your head size, the hat might need small combs attached to anchor it to your hair.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
