Vintage 1950s A-Dria Hat | Ivory Beaded Floral Half Hat | Lucite Flower Cocktail Hat

Vintage 1950s A-Dria Floral Beaded Cocktail Hat – Ivory Lucite Flower Half Hat

Description

An extraordinary vintage 1950s cocktail half hat by A-Dria, lavishly covered with dimensional ivory, champagne and pale yellow floral embellishments for a wonderfully sculptural botanical effect.

The entire crown is densely decorated with hundreds of petal-shaped beads and components arranged into overlapping flowers and blossoms. Iridescent ivory petals catch the light beautifully, while champagne-toned textured petals, tiny molded flowers and petite star-centered blossoms create layer upon layer of detail. Touches of pale yellow and olive green add subtle color throughout the arrangement.

One of the most striking details is the beautifully shaped velvet edge. The undulating brim line is framed in mossy olive green velvet with a contrasting golden-yellow velvet piping, emphasizing the dramatic curves of the silhouette.

The hat is labeled “Created By A-Dria” inside and is constructed over a lightweight net foundation with grosgrain interior bands.

A wonderfully unusual piece of mid-century millinery that feels almost like a wearable bouquet. The neutral palette also makes this especially appealing for vintage bridal styling.
