The Petal Hat for The Rose Bud Complexion

This sweet, sweet hat turns the wearer's face into a flower. You have to have a sweet face to carry it off, I think. The petal or more correctly sepals (technical term for the green bits right around a flower bud) are in cream and then their backs are in a kind of dark taupe in a thick fabric with a touch of sheen, each piece is outlined in taupe Petersham ribbon, and one of the sepals makes a little flick outwards at the back. These colors are relatively restrained, and not in green which would be the obvious choice.

The designer may have been thinking a few things: green would turn the whole thing into a silly hat only fit for the chorus of a musical comedy, and the cream and taupe means the face brings all the color to the hat. After all, if the hat itself were done in rose bud pink, or a rich dark pink, the woman wearing it would have to compete with that coloring, and few of us would win that competition. Cream is easier to wear.

If you look at the interior, you see that each piece of the hat was finished all around with the Petersham ribbon and then they were hand-basted to one another to make the shape. What you can't see is the milliner's wire which runs along each of those edges. That wire was shaped to make the cream edges turn outwards, to shape each piece to the head, and to allow that little flick at the back. Setting the fabric on the bias helped easy the shaping. There is also a narrow piece of netting with 3 mother of pearl disks and a hatpin whose head is covered with the same taupe fabric. I am not sure how that was worn, I must confess.

I am guessing it dates to the 1940s as the brand appears mostly in that decade in Women's Wear Daily although it clearly existed until the mid 1950s as least. During both of those decades women considered hats a required part of a daytime outfit for any public place or event.

It is a beautifully conceived and constructed hat, best on a youthful face in a non-serious mood, and should makes us appreciate the ways in which milliner's wire can be used to create subtle shapes.

When you went to a wedding, a hat was a 'must.' But even then Mrs. Oliver kept two. One... was of feathers. It fitted closely to the head and stood up very well to squalls of rain if they should overtake one unexpectedly.... The other, and more elaborate hat, was definitely for attending a wedding held on a Saturday afternoon in summer. It had flowers and chiffon and a covering of yellow net attached with mimosa.

This is from Agatha Christie novel Elephants Can Remember from 1972. In England, hats often are still a must for wedding. In the US, they are only an option, and not one often taken.

If you do wear hat to a formal social event, everyone will come up to you and talk about it, thus revealing how many women long for the chance to wear hats, but haven't the courage in face of the general abandonment of hats in the 1960s.

It was big hair and lots of hairspray which first undermined hats in the late 1950s. Then, they became seen as old-fashioned, and the generation wearing them died out, thus we lost one of our more amusing fashion options. Sigh.
