This is a charming little hat from the 1950s.
Made from black shiny straw it is a simple, classic, design which has a little upturned brim and is trimmed with small white flowers and the crown is entirely covered with net. It is designed to sit on top of your head rather than fit on it and so, with a hat pin, would work on anyone.
Measurements
Will work on any size head due to the design but you will need to work out how to secure it - it will need either a hat pin or elastic.
Width 8.5"
Length 9"
Deepest part of the crown 2.5"
Condition
Very good with just a couple of small points to note;
- there are some small breaks in the net but as it is black net over black straw you really have to look hard for the breaks
- there are some small holes in the inner band - although these are not seen when worn
