Folkwear #269 Metropolitan Hat

Folkwear #269 Metropolitan Hat pattern. This hat dates from the early 20th century and represents a transitional period in millinery history - - following the oversize Victorian confections of veiling and stuffed birds, but before the head-hugging cloches of the 1920s. Fast and easy to sew, it has a casual and slightly slouchy look, with a modest brim and fabric flowers at center front. There are just three pattern pieces: Brim, Band and Crown. Each piece is cut twice out of the fabric and complementary lining for a fully lined, easy to wear chapeau. The decorative fabric Rosettes can be fashioned out of the hat fabric, contrasting materials such as lace, tulle or glittering silk, or entirely replaced by a vintage brooch or dramatic button. Multi sized pattern that includes sizes Small - Large.
