Vintage 40s cartwheel hat - Gem。This is a showstopper cartwheel/platter hat from the ultra fashionable 1950s\'! The oval shaped hat is made of bright fuchsia felt, which is covered in fuchsia and black feathers on top. Underneath there is a small cap with side \"wings\" that help keep the hat in place. Quite possibly the hat was secured with hairpins (not included). This is a work of art worthy of admiration.
