A beautifully light and romantic 1950s white floral half hat, designed in soft white fabric with delicate openwork construction and sheer veil netting.
White Half Hat Details
White fabric half hat. Clusters of pink and pale yellow blossoms are arranged across the crown, adding just the right touch of color against the airy white base. The open framework gives the hat a barely-there feel, while the netting softens the silhouette with a gentle drape.
Half hats were made to sit flat across the crown, leaving the hairstyle visible—perfect for showcasing mid-century coiffures or adding a floral accent to a modern look.
A lovely choice for spring events, bridal styling, or anyone drawn to that soft, feminine 1950s look.

WHAT IS A HALF HAT
What is a Half Hat
Half Hats are brimless, shallow hats that usually sit flat on the crown, similar to an extra-wide bandeau. Lilly Dache created the half hat, for which she won an American Designer award in 1941. Veiled half hats were designed by Dior, beginning in 1947. During the 1950s, half hats remained popular and evolved into variations, including openwork half-hats consisting of a wired piping frame with flowers, feathers, or other trimmings. From Hatatorium: An Essential Guide for Hat Collectors, 2nd Edition. Check out Madge’s blog post on half hats.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HAT SIZE
HOW TO FINDÂ YOUR HAT SIZE
- Pull a fabric tape measure or length of string around your head just slightly above the ear, across the mid-forehead, completely circling your head.
- Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. You are measuring your head exactly where the hat will sit in either inches or centimeters.
- If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the next largest size.
- Then buy a fabulous vintage hat from Madge
