  • Hats and Millinery
CONT

Les formes des chapeaux sont en nombre illimité. Un des modes d'élaboration du chapeau féminin révèle ses affinités avec la sculpture : la modiste réalise une maquette du chapeau avec une toile rigide faite de fibres naturelles, la sparterie, qui a l'aspect d'un canevas de paille sur une face et présente un envers de mousseline apprêtée.
