This piece is divine and is one of the best cocktail hats we've ever had.
Made in the 1950's by Manning of London, it is a close fitting design which is made from cobalt blue velvet. The right side of the hat features an openwork design which is surrounded by applique flowers and leaves . A smaller version of the same applique design is replicated on the left side. All the applique is decorated with sparkling glitter in bright silver.
A truly special piece which is perfect for an evening out.
Measurements

Front to back 10"
Side to side 13"
Condition
Very good. Only minor point to note is some slight marks on the applique work which appears to be glue from when they were originally stuck on.
