1940s Halo Beret - Aubergine
A hand crafted beret style often referred to as a 'halo' hat lovingly created here in Yorkshire and based on an original - goes perfectly with our Stanwyck dress and Jacket to complete a classy 1940s suited look!
It would have been unusual for one to 'walk out' without a hat of some sort in the 1940s. These days we reserve hats for the races or a wedding. The perfect topper for any outfit and super elegant - once you have worn this beauty a few times you will understand why the hat was so revered.
Although berets were common in the 30s and 40s - styles were often developed into elaborate styles to emulate hats but created in coordinating fabrics. This style is raised up higher on one side and finished with an extra price of the same fabric embellished with pin tucks which mirror the details on the Stanwyck dress and jacket. (although hat works equally well on its own).
Versatile style - the raised side can be worn to the front as a halo or to the side for a more demure look.
Made by a skilled and experienced local seamstress and friend of Foxy - these are limited edition and the polar opposite to mass produced.
Approx. 23" Circumference - with slight stretch
Fabric:-
Outer: Heavy crepe - poly/viscose blend
Lining: 100% polyester
Care:-
Surface clean and steam to refresh.
