Non Headsize Hats

DESCRIPTION

A non-headsize hat always has a small headsize, measuring from 18" to 21" and some seasons when non-headsize hats are very fashionable they become very extreme with the headsize measuring only 12" and worn perched high on the head, tilted forward. One-fourth to three-eighths of a yard of material is required depending on size of hat. An anchorage of elastic or a matching band of material is necessary to hold hat on head. Hat anchorages on page 39.
