The "Tea with Longfellow" collection was specially created for Queen of Hats by Abigail Aldridge. Her designs are a kind of poetry, inspired by the era when Longfellow lived and worked in Maine.

Antique lace lavished over light-as-a-breeze horsehair give a romantic styling to the Picture Hat. An ivory rose, a cluster of pearl grapes and a pouf of netting are the perfect finishing touches.

Hat stats: Crown 4-1/2"; Brim 5" (front), 4-1/2" (sides), 4" (back)
