Vintage 1950s Unique Navy Blue Silk Faille Wide Brim Platter Hat Dior’s New Look L16. Now, this hat is something special! It looks exactly like the Maidenform bra ad, as you can see. That dates the hat to 1955, the end of the New Look era, displaying an ultra wide sloped brim and nearly non-existent crown. The hat is covered with a deep navy blue silk faille top and bottom, as is the wide headband structure that holds this to your head. That structure can be gently bent to fit and I find the hat very comfortable to wear. Brim’s edge is also wired. Top of brim is beautifully decorated with corde and sports a tidy self-fabric bow. Although this hat has no label, it is meticulously hand sewn and is likely haute couture. The quality and detail is superb. Dimensions are 15″ wide x 9″. Front brim is 3 1/2. Looks to have never been worn. No stains, no odors. The ad is a real hoot! Check out that weird form that gives you nice wide hips to contrast with your New Look “wasp waist”. What to wear with this unique hat? Well, take your cue from the ad: RED lips, long gloves, bullet bra and a rhinestone brooch on your hips! Man, I love that ad…. I have a HUGE amount of vintage hats, vintage clothing and vintage jewelry to sell so check back often! DEAR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE. If under 4 pounds.
