Whether you wear hats to church, to the Kentucky Derby, a British tea party, or to the Easter Parade, you might want to consider this fantastic head art by millinery designer B Michael.
It's a fine woven straw hat with four 'ears' that are trimmed in pink straw, goldtone metallic ribbon, faux white pearls and little goldtone 'dots'.
The hat is unworn with its original B MICHAEL NEW YORK tag and a black stretch band to help you keep it on your head (though it would probably be best to use a hat pin).
The inside pink band measures 21.5 inches around. Each 'ear' measures 4 inches across by 5 inches high. The hat is about 2 inches deep.
Slight yellowing to the tag but the hat is in excellent vintage condition and ready for fame.
