Bonnet

Clothing/Dress/Costume

Girl’s bonnet of coarse dark brown straw in lacy arrangement. Rather narrow but deep crown with medium deep brim flaring up in front about at a right angle to the crown. Looks equally likely for either end of the date spectrum. Carefully lined with light blue tissue paper sewn in like a fabric lining.
