Black velvet hat with ribbon and netting

A black velvet hat with ribbon and netting. The top of the crown is slightly indented and flat while the sides of the crown taper slightly outwards. The hat is constructed out of blocked buckram, on the exterior it is covered in black silk velvet. Black nylon veil is adhered to the top of the crown. A wide black petersham ribbon is wrapped around the exterior circumference of the hat. It is creased at the center back of the hat making a “V” shape. There is a bow made of black petersham ribbon on the proper right side of the hat. The petersham ribbon is attached to the hat with hand stitches and adhesive. The hat's interior is lined with black synthetic fabric, and a black grosgrain ribbon is sewn to the bottom edge. Metal wire hidden by the black grosgrain ribbon is wrapped around the edge of the hat attached with hand stitches. Two plastic combs are located along the grosgrain ribbon edge on both the proper left and right sides of the hat’s interior. Black elastic loops keep the combs in place, these loops are attached behind the grosgrain ribbon with metal aglets. There is a label on the top of the crown at the hat’s interior that reads [Miss Sally Victor NEW YORK] in black script.
