Ladies 1950s vintage hat.

This is a beautiful hat from the late 1950s. It would be fun to wear to a cocktail party or any more formal event. There are a few sequins that give it a little sparkle yet keeps it very elegant.

It is made of black velvet and accented with a black braid that has a few sequins on it. The black vail seems to be in perfect condition. In general the veil will not cover your eyes. The smaller your head the lower the veil will fall. I have a medium sized head and the veil hits me just above my eyebrows. Keep in mind the mannequin bust is smaller than a normal head.

Exceptionally clean as if never worn.
