Outstanding 1940s LILLY DACHE’ Black Velvet Matador Style Wide Brim Draped Hat
A true masterpiece of millinery expertise. A stunning late 1940s hat made by Lilly Dache’, completely hand made and sewn. Lush and extremely dense pile black silk velvet is artistically gathered and ruched to create beautiful dips and folds, and the wide brim somewhat resembles a matador’s hat. It reminds me of a sculpture! I have never seen velvet worked in this fabulous way, and the photos could not capture the beauty of her work. There is a foundation material, such as net or pellum etc. Under the velvet so the hat perfectly keeps its shape and is not floppy at all. This hat is so very stylish it could easily be worn today. A work of art. A great gift for the hat collector. Label is Lilly Dache, Paris New York, 78 E 56th Street, N. I will let the photos tell the rest of the story……. Lilly’s earlier works, especially her custom hand made hats as this one, are so very hard to find today and are fast disappearing from the market. A rare hat for the serious millinery and fashion collector or museum. Thank you for looking. I show the hat on a full sized millinery head, the head is not included.
