This pretty early 1950s candy-hued hat topper is crafted from pale blue velvet and pale pink satin. It is lined with wire and shaped to curve around the sides of the head. The pink satin is ruched and gathered to form a rose-like shape, framed by blue velvet at the bottom. The hat is lined in a thick white mesh that helps it to hold its shape.

The hat is in very good to excellent vintage condition, particularly for a piece approaching 80 years of age and is highly wearable. There are faint scattered surface markings to the pink satin and these are hardly noticeable - especially not when the hat is in situ. These toppers suit a wide variety of face and head shapes as they can be placed at an angle on top of the head and adapt to a wide variety of hair styles. Unlabelled but good quality.
