This Sculptural, Purple Exclamation Mark Beret is certainly a quiet Statement Hat. It's a jewel-toned and elegant hat to wear to a wedding or celebration. Or perhaps just wear it to town!
It is wearable art that can be worn in various ways, with the exclamation point on the front or side. Turn the hat to whichever way suits you best.
COLORS:
The colors of this beret range in purple: from lavender to dark, plummy brown. The hat is made from soft Merino wool and has some grey Gotland-type wool, giving it a bit more surface texture.
SHAPE:
And the shape? It is another one of my sculpted variations on a beret. There is a purple flange that spirals around the front edge of the hat. Right below this, I've shaped the wool to curve into a concave tear shape. I've top-stitched the front edge to add definition and have trimmed the hat with mauve-colored silk decoration, which has a beaded edge. A large purple bead is sewn below like an exclamation mark or half of a butterfly's wing. The bottom edge of the hat has been bound off in matching silk fabric.
SIZE:
• The hat measures 12" / 30.5 cm in width.
• It is a medium-thickness felt and weighs 2.6 oz. / 74 gm.
• Headsize SMALL : it fits a range of -- 21.75" / 55 cm to 22" / 56 cm.
• Inside the hat, there's a band of purple millinery grosgrain.
