Bonnet

Feb 25, 2017 | by admin | Hat Resource | Articles

A bonnet is a type of hat that is worn over the top of head and held in place by ribbons tied under the chin.

Bonnets can be very elaborate and highly decorative when adorned with flowers, fur, feathers, and assorted trims; or can be very simple and plain, made of pierced cloth or lace.
