1950s Pink & Purple Ribbonwork Veiled Hat Topper

About the Item

This is a really unusual hat design probably from the late 1940s to early 1950s and almost like a fascinator. It is made up of folded velvet ribbon in wide bands made into a circular hat topper. It is comprised of the most gorgeous coloured velvet - pale lilac, a darker lilac and pink. There is a bow detail to the top and a prong set pink rhinestone button too. Most hat toppers of the day were designed for formal events and were particularly popular worn to the back of the head. This piece can be positioned towards the front of the head at a jaunty angle for a more modern look. There is a net veil attached to the underside of the topper. The underside has been lined in pewter jacquard floral fabric outlined with a grosgrain ribbon. There are no designer labels present but the piece is well made and possibly even designer. It is in extraordinary vintage condition with the velvet fresh and bright. There are no breaks in the veiling and this could easily be removed if desired. MEASUREMENTS: Circumference: 17.5 in.

  • 1950s Diana Warren White Tulle Dress With Ribbon Appliqué
    By Diana Warren
    Located in London, GB
    A beautiful and timeless original 1950s pure white tulle ribbon appliqué work dress from high-end British boutique label Diana Warren. Classic scoop neck, cap sleeves, a fitted bodice and pleating to the waist, the dress is adorned all over in scrolling ribbon appliqué work over a net overlay. The underskirt lining is a lightweight acetate with a net mid layer. The dress fastens at the back with a metal zip and is styled in the photos without a petticoat. The fullness of the skirt will allow a petticoat of several layers if desired to further accentuate the waist and hips. Truly excellent vintage condition - we have been unable to find a single hole in the lace and all the ribbon is intact. This would be a beautiful vintage bridal dress...
