30s Whimsy Hat 40s Vintage Silver Conical Assymetrical Women's Hat VFG
Such a quirky little vintage hat, probably dating back to the 1930s or 1940s! It's an asymmetrical conical hat, artfully draped and molded. It is accented by narrow wrapped velvet ribbons that are anchored by a tiny cone that echoes the hat's shape.
SIZE: The hat should fit many head sizes, since it is intended to sit fairly high. It will probably need to be anchored with a hat pin for wear.

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.
