120660Description:
This wedding hat made of lace was worn by Peter Keegstra's mother. It was created by Mrs. Josephine Lindeboom who was a Grand Rapids milliner. During the early 20th century hats were large in size and featured elaborate decorations such as artificial flowers, feathers, and ribbons. Hats with turned-up brims became popular as well as the toque hat, picture hats, and hats that emphasized height. This hat is indicative of the early 1900s because of its large size, use of lace, and because of the wide brim.Date:
