Wide brimmed sinamay

One of the hats I have chosen to make is the wide brimmed sinamay. While these were not seen as often as the smaller pillbox hats, all headwear was taxed and off-ration, so any style was still available to those who could afford it. The crown was very flat, and there was little to no decoration.
Although the materials would have been different, I feel that sinamay would be the best choice to replicate the delicate look of the hat.
