A question for the 18th century experts

[frualeydis]

This is the hat that started my new enthusiasm for the 18th century (and then came Dress of the people). What I didn't hink of when I found it online was that it apparently is cut in one edge. I can do that of course, but I would like to know if anyone has seen anything like that before, especially a painting where you can see it worn.

I wonder if it's not particularly Dutch : there is a similar hat in the exhibition catalogue "Modes en Miroirs, La France et la Hollande au siècle des Lumières"... This hats si coming from Friesland.
I don't know if it were wearing in other countries...

I can't find any pictures at this moment, but I think the cutting edge were worn on the back of the head...

I remember seeing images of similar hats in a Dutch book on 18th-century dress. I won't have time to get over to the library to see if I can hunt that down until next week. I'll try to remember to look.

Yes i second http://lisotchka.livejournal.com/ about this being a dutch hat. There is one in the catalogue from Galliera.
