Luis and marsha。What an elegant and fashionable hat from the fabulous 1950s\'! The hat is shaped with a pointy top and adjusts to many head sizes. The beige felt has a bit of red in it, so we looked at color charts online, and several named it CARAMEL or TGERRA COTA. At one side the hat is trimmed with a natural fiber color weaving which has dangling teardrop glass beads that show their age, plus gold sequins in the shape of leaves. On the opposite side there is a feather arrangement in shades of beige, brown and orange. There is a felt circle at the center of the feathers. This hat is gorgeous from all sides!
Daytime hats were de rigueur for women in the 1930s- 1950s’, except for more formal late afternoon events (art openings, cocktail parties, tea dances etc.) when a daytime hat just did not work with a cocktail dress. When Hollywood costume designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Mr. John paired a new, smaller hat with cocktail dresses in several movies, women of fashion around the world eagerly followed suit. Cocktail hats reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s.
