This hat was exactly what I wanted. It fits on my head perfectly. I love the vintage look and got it because my boyfriend sings and will be doing a performance on 1-20 and I wanted something extra that night with my look. Something vintage. I will send pics that night.

About Christine Original

Christine Orginal was a major milliner during the 1940s through the 1960s.  Some newspaper ads show a photo of a “Miss Christine” but we can’t find any information on whether Christine actually existed.

What is a Close Hat

A close hat is a 1950s term for a shallow-crowned brimless hat that fits close to the head, usually covering only the top portion of the crown. They were originally worn square (not tilted) on the top of the crown, exposing the forehead. They come in many shapes and often have veils. Today they look equally fabulous tilted on the head.
