A beautiful and very special vintage late 1930s hat by the legendary milliner and fashion designer, Lilly Dache’. Dates to the late 1930s, just about 1938 and bears her hard to find, early label with her Madison Avenue address. A true “doll” or “toy” sized hat, scaled down to a charmingly small dimension, and worn at a sever tilted angle over 1 eye. Victorian revival, inspired by those darling pork pie 1860s hats as worn by fashionable women in Paris and America during the Civil War era. Supple pale peachy hued Milan straw braid, with a masculine fedora low brim and rolled up sides, and loaded with the prettiest pastel hued pale purple lilacs, and pink flowers. Finished with wide antique French silk velvet ribbon in a soft muted sage green. Completely hand sewn, even the interior silk chiffon lining and grosgrain ribbon are hand sewn in place. Label; reads Lilly Dache’ Paris New York, 455 Madison Avenue New York. Measures about 10″ long and 5 1/2″ wide and is light and gorgeous! A true work of millinery art, hand made by the greatest American milliner of her time. Lilly Dache hats from her early years are extremely scarce today. A museum worthy chapeau and a real prize for the serious collector of millinery. I show the hat placed on a full sized adult millinery head. The ivory elastic has been added to hold the hat on the head, but can be easily removed if needed. PLEASE SEE OUR AUCTIONS FOR MORE ANTIQUE and VINTAGE HATS, Clothing, AND MORE….
