Millinery is the odd one out on this site devoted to embroidery and needlework. … Or is it?

So I thought it would be fun to showcase some hand embroidered hats. Millinery and embroidery not just complementary but united in the same piece!

Obviously “embroidered hats” encompasses baseball caps with machine embroidery. There are fewer examples of hand-embroidered true millinery hats, but when you find them, you see a perfect pairing of two beautiful art forms!
