Cream and sky blue mini top hat fascinator retro/vintage rockabilly

Description

Finish your retro/vintage, rockabilly or pin-up look with this mini top hat, reminiscent of hat styles from the 1940s! Mini hats, also called toy hats or doll hats, were popular after World War II, ostensibly due to material shortages.

The first photo shoes this style of hat in use during a modeling shoot (Photo by Rob Miracle). The last photo shows this hat being worn by burlesque performer extraordinaire Foxy Moxy during a show by Big Mamma's House of Burlesque! (Photo courtesy of foxymoxy.com and bigmammasproductions.com.) You will receive a new model of this hat that will be custom fabricated when your order is received. This can take UP TO A WEEK.

This hat is made of cream felt, measuring 5 inches long by 4.25 inches wide, including the brim. It is adorned with a large "pad" of sky blue feathers. The band is sky blue with a center band of white with two periwinkle-purple pinstripes. The short veil is made of periwinkle netting with chenille dots. It is finished with a light blue button that has a raised pearlized crescent and a silver feather in the center.

The hat is sewn to a clear comb, in a style called a fascinator, for easy attachment to any hairstyle. (We can add an elastic headband if you request it; tell us your hair color so we can match the band to it.) All adornments are hand-sewn and securely attached.
