Later there was a habit of having everyone look in a different direction which looks very odd to modern style.

Some of them seem totally unsuitable as hat. I'm not thinking of the fascinator-type, more the contraptions that look like a roound needlework box strapped on the top of the head. The one worn by the older woman in your first photograph is similar to what I'm talking about. Great photos, thank you Rosie.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709003501247476851.post-17270102877880306352013-08-24T20:14:43.239-03:002013-08-24T20:14:43.239-03:00A great threesome set of threesomes.
