This hat is a throwback cloche made with "all but two" floral-patterned silks.  A kitchen sink hat (many silks combined into one piece), it is like a garden bed full of perennials, your own English Garden, a dense and rich collection of flowers.  With marvelous textures in the velour, sequins, beads, or dense silk flowers that sit atop of the wool rather than get felted in, this is a feast for those who appreciate texture in their fashion.
