 Hi Janet. I have some cute vintage hats, but I'm never sure what is the front and what is the back. Does the label go in a certain direction, or do you have another helpful hint? Thank you so much for your help!
Janet:
When milliners make a hat, the hat size and ending seam of the finishing ribbon is always at the back of the hat. According to Ellen Christine, our resident Hat Lady, "I'd like to say that's where the label goes too, but throughout many decades of millinery, designers have placed their labels everywhere, so that's not always a reliable tell. The most important thing I tell my customers, is to wear the hat as it suits you.... if it looks great on your head, it's on right!"
