Velvet Hat in a Hatbox

A velvet hat sits inside an open hatbox, with a ribbon crossing the soft pile and tissue paper folded around the brim. Cardboard edges, a brass fastening and worn lining add small tactile clues.

Start at the crown and brim, then use ribbon direction to connect the hat. Hatbox corners provide straight guides; tissue pieces belong near fold shadows rather than in one pale group. Ribbon edges cross the velvet nap, while box corners keep tissue paper from spreading too far.
