Most beautiful fashion hat. A wide brimmed picture hat, exquisitely hand woven Hat has intricately designed lace like patterns with a wide velvet brim ribbon and bow. You will love this! This is not a reproduction. 18\" in diameter.

After I listed this an member has suggested that the hat is from the 40\'s-50\'s. I not an expert so if you are disappointed when you buy it I would gladly accept a return.

Another member wrote,Yes, definitely from the late 40s/early 50s, and along with \"Victorian/Edwardian\" as keywords, add \"New Look\" because that\'s not only what it actually is, it\'s also highly desirable and will attract more buyers : ).

Clues to its age are the inner grosgrain band (not used prior to mid-century), the style of the label.The flat crown, big brim style was very popular at that time. The picture hat -- a la Scarlet O\'Hara at the bbq -- look was also popular following the release of Gone With the Wind. But those hats were a different style. From what I can tell, it\'s made of sinamay.

sale is for hat only. Mannequin not included.
