SOLD - please ring to discuss a similar design)- a black and silver headpiece providing you with a glittering entrance to any occasion!The 11“ diameter saucer is held on a hand-blocked black sinamay ‘button’ base which is wired and bound in satin.
The black crocheted ‘fishnet’ saucer is beaded all over with clusters of tiny silver coloured beads. This is stretched across its own circular wired edging also bound in satin. The saucer is stitched onto the base across the crown only allowing the rest to gently bounce at every movement. This causes a delightful twinkle and flash from the silver beads whenever the light catches them. It is decorated with narrow black sinamay loops and a central cluster of more silver beads. The hat is held on the head by elastic and is made to be worn on the right and well forward. If the saucer covers one eye visibility is perfectly possible through the ‘net’ and wearing it forward in this way provides a seductive intrigue!
