I think she's wearing the brooch pinned to her hat, that's why the brooch is slightly tilting. What we perceive as an edge is in fact the rather sturdy area where the hat's brim and crown adjoin each other. Depending on the thickness of the material the brooch could even be pinned through both, brim and crown. Now, if the brooch was fastened higher on the brim, it would most likely have pulled the hat out of shape.
