Millinery was a source of great pleasure and pride for women in the last quarter of the 19th century. Highly intricate and refined styles such as this were testaments to the skill of the milliner. The quality of this hat is evident in the artful draping of the mousseline de soie and skillful application of the buckles and bows.
