What are Half Hats
Brimless shallow hats that usually sit flat on top of the crown, similar to an extra-wide bandeau, are known as half hats. 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 that consisted of a wired piping frame with flowers, feathers, or other trims.
