This Lunardi hat is made from all-natural materials throughout.The brim is natural straw that has an hidden brim-wire for support, the crown is made of 100% silk taffeta in a coral-pink which is backed with 100% cotton organdy for body.The hat is trimmed with vintage green double-sided satin ribbon loops made from 6 yards of luscious thick ribbon, a small bouquet of vintage flowers (roses and buds in pink and green) and two natural white ostrich tips.The inside has an adjustable cotton sateen lining for comfort.

The hat is a generous 25″ in size (almost a size 8!), to fit over a wig or a very curly hairdo, even a super-frizzy Hedgehog style.Smaller heads can wear it too, but you’ll need to adjust the drawstring lining.Convo me for details if you wish to.

Despite its ridiculous size (16″ across and about 7″ tall or 41 cm X 18 cm) this is a very lightweight hat and will be extremely comfortable to wear, even on a hot summer day because the fabrics are breathable.

Please know that I always refund shipping overcharges promptly, and I’m happy to make one for you in a different colour should you wish that.

Thanks go to Catherine Scholar from whom I learned how to make these!
