Evening bonnet

Designer Mme. Carlier French

Not on view

One characteristic of French production is extreme attention paid to the minutest of construction details. This is best displayed in the varying shapes of the wired paillettes which make up this bonnet's crown. The white edging on the black lace creates a striking appearance, setting off the artificial flowers the French were so skilled at creating.
