Straw hats were originally designed to protect the wearer from the ravages of the elements. Straw was widely available and low in cost. For your viewing enjoyment, here is a parade of vintage 1940's era straw hats from my personal collection. As always, click on any photo to enlarge.
Although I prefer to work with Ultrasuede or wool felt when making hats for dolls, I did this straw hat a few years back for the 11.5" size diva. OOAK ensemble from The Couture Touch.
