Canberra milliner Christine Waring has just received a treasure trove from the past - vintage Tracey Lord hats from the 1950s and 1960s.
They were made by Irmgard Grady, better known as Irmgard Lyons, who owned Hats by Tracey Lord in Braddon, and later the Monaro Mall, where buying a hat was less a shopping experience and more a rite of passage for many young girls and women in the national capital.
