An excerpt:

"To produce a hat that will suit the individuality and the purpose of the wearer is the highest attainment in the art of millinery. Women expect a great deal from hats, and so they should, for the hat really makes the background, or frame, for the face, serving to enhance its appearance if appropriate.

The student of millinery, then, has much opportunity to create and make hats that will fulfil the requirements of individuality. But just as the artist must know the principles of art to enjoy art or to make a success of it, so must a milliner know the principles of millinery, its requirements, and its relation to dress if she would achieve success."

The ladies of earlier times put their hands to such marvelous work and now you can too! These are beautiful items and sure to delight you and yours! These instructions are very clear and easy to follow and yet the experience crafter will be capable of altering as per individual needs and artistic whim.
