z SOLD ~ Unsinkable Molly Brown Morning Hat
From the last part of the 19th century and onward through the Edwardian period, the design emphasis on ladies hats was their great height and decoration. Activity and use also played an equally-important role when a lady went visiting, to garden meetings or church, playing lawn tennis, or taking in a morning stroll.  Ladies' hats became emancipation's insignia just like the Unsinkable Molly Brown who supported and led women's independence and emancipation from old-age Victorian practices and society's expectations.

Astonishing blend of colors and materials decorated these hats and drew attention to the increased height, compelling a man to look up to a woman with increased respect, or at least give her more attention.  Generally worn with an attitude at a tilt toward the front of the lady's head makes this elaborately decorated hat with its fanciful plumes and rose ride regally high into the air.

River Junction's Molly Brown Morning Hat is covered in rich burgundy-black velvet trimmed at the base with fancy black trim.  Black and burgundy ostrich plumes or maribou feathers accentuate the black lace-topped crown, along with a black fabric and tulle rose with leaves, black-burgundy beaded accents and burgundy fabric rosette with fancy pearl pin.  Two matching side and back bows are held in place by antique-gold medallions and a complementary pearl-encased rhinestone brooch.

Hat measures 10 1/2 by 10 by 6 in.  This River Junction's hat is a one-of-a kind that no one else has duplicated, so get it while it lasts as this is our last one in stock.
