She required an extensive wardrobe for the many formal dinners and state functions that she had to attend, and no outfit was complete without the appropriate accessories such as hats and gloves.  \r\n\r\nLady Alexandra dressed exclusively at Jacques Fath. The designer lent her evening and day dresses each season, aware of the publicity that this would give his house. 'If there was a Fath dress I wanted to keep, I could pay sale price at the end of the season. I was not allowed to go to any other couturier, but I did not want to - Fath was perfection.'\r\n\r\nThis hat is very typical of its time, when small but elaborate hats were worn to cocktail parties or restaurants.","physicalDescription":"Hat of white net with sprays of artificial flowers in cotton and paper, and small plant shoots in white, pink, green and lavender. It has a wire frame with a net base, and a maroon net veil attached to the sides, covering the flowers at the front.
