Used black "straw" placemats to make a wavy brimmed hat with artificial flowers. Wired with millinary wire and
crown is black buckram. Artificial flowers and silk hat band.

Self drafted pattern based on reference images. Made the hat brim a little too wavy so mashed up two styles and made part of the
brim with larger waves to accommodate flowers.
