30s Vintage Platter Sun Hat Wide Brim Red & White Summer 40s Garden Party Hat VFG
This lovely wide brim hat most likely dates to the 1930s, perfect for a garden party! The low crown has a bit of a mushroom shape, and actually extends below the brim to form a curving cap that is deeper in back. The variation between red and white creates a lovely effect. The wide brim is not perfectly circular - it's widest in the front and on the sides, a bit narrower in back.The hat is trimmed with narrow red grosgrain ribbon that forms a cascading soft bow down the right side of the brim.

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
