Vintage 1950s Aqua Blue Velvet Cocktail Hat with Face Veil Bow & Floral Appliqués | Mid Century Hat

Vintage 1950s Aqua Velvet Veiled Cocktail Hat with Bow & Velvet Floral Appliqués

Description

A beautiful vintage 1950s cocktail hat in a striking aqua turquoise blue, combining plush velvet, delicate netting and charming dimensional embellishments for a wonderfully feminine mid-century look.

The structured rounded hat is covered in soft aqua velvet and topped with an oversized sculptural velvet bow. Coordinating fine net veiling drapes from the crown and extends over the face, creating the elegant veiled silhouette associated with 1950s cocktail and occasion hats.

The veil is especially lovely, decorated with tiny aqua accents along portions of the edge and whimsical dimensional velvet leaf and floral-like appliqués scattered across the netting. Small sparkling accents add another subtle decorative detail.

The monochromatic aqua color makes this hat particularly striking and gives the elaborate combination of velvet, bow, netting and appliqué work a sophisticated yet playful appearance. A wonderful statement piece for a vintage collection and an especially pretty option for spring events, weddings or a vintage-inspired "something blue."
