Making hats was a hobby of my Mother's. Once she claimed she missed the end of the Kentucky Derby because she was trying to memorize a hat she saw...LOL

Ditto. I don't think they get a lot of constructive guidance from their mother (not intended to dis Fergie), but you'd think someone could have helped them out. However, the young have minds of their own, I am afraid.

Some of them look like they jumped out of bed just in time to get on the airplane.
Yes! I am all for less casual attire, especially in the workplace.

They really looked kind of frumpy, didn't they?

We always had a new hat at Easter when I was growing up.
That's been awhile..like 65 or 70 years ago. After I married seems hardly anyone wore them. However, about 20 years or so ago, at the request of my husband (he really
likes to see women wear hats) I did buy about a dozen. Then
after a few short years, I began to fee conspicous when I
wore a hat, because everyone else at church dressed really,
really casual. We go to a Baptist church and the ladies
there all dress quite nicely, so I do wear them again from
time to time. Not so much in the summer as they are a bit
warm. I am not alone, others wear them also from time to
time. It is disturbing to me that at weddings, funerals
and special occasions, that people don't just dress casual
it seems some dress "just plain sloppy". If it is all they
have I could accept that, but I know they could do better.

I could see the head bands on some of them.

Some of them looked like they were attatched to a head band and yes some of them were very different looking.

When I was young we'd wear hats and gloves to church.
