The New Velvet Hat "The Shirley"

With so many Titanic events coming up, everyone knows it is all about the hats. I love this 1910 advertisement, because it shows how much of a difference your hat-trimming can make. In fact, you could find or make just one hat, preferably in black velvet, with a modest crown and brim, then tack up one side of the brim. Now you can slap on a flower or a bow and have a different hat for every event you attend!
