    1. Bluebell X, woman do wear hat indoors, it's proper etiquette, removing headgear only applies to men.

    2. Women can wear hats indoor because it is part of their ensemble. For men it is an accessory, so they have to take it off inside. So she is aloud tk wear an hat indoors

    3. I learned that rule (women wear the hat as part of the ensemble indoors) too. What I would like to know from the fashion experts: What about a beret? Like Faye Dunaway in "Bonnie and Clyde". It has the same function as a hat, hasn't it? In constrast, a cap against the cold is taken off, isn't it?

  4. This dress has a great cut for her body type. So flattering! Interesting colour as well.
    I do like the hat, but wouldn´t have combined it with the dress. It would have worked better with a more casual outfit, ideally with trousers.
