Individuality in millinery

Picken, Mary Brooks, 1886-1981 · 1921 · Scranton, Pa. : Women's Institute of Domestic Arts & Sciences, Inc. · 29 pictures

Individuality in millinery is a 1921 instructional manual on hat design and construction by Mary Brooks Picken, published in Scranton, Pennsylvania, by the Women's Institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences for home and trade milliners. The four pictures show a wide-brimmed straw-look hat, a smooth rounded crown with a sweeping upturned brim, a small tricorne-style hat on a woman, and a brimmed hat with a ruffled band, giving designers a record of 1920s brim and crown shapes.
