For some reason, this hat makes me think of the song “We Got Elegance” from Hello Dolly:
We got elegance
If you ain’t got elegance
You can never ever carry it off!

The combination of a slightly more interesting rib pattern with the lacy, wavy columns may not be what the milliners singing the song would have created, but the delicate patterns and touch of sparkle definitely make this hat a contender for Sunday Best!
