Vintage Ivory Hat with Net Overlay and Satin Bow - Mrs. Crosby

Ivory, with a fine net worked over the whole crown and a satin bow at the back. Mrs. Crosby dates this one to the 1930s–40s. She bought it new at Dillard's and never wore it — it has waited all these years for its first day out.

From Mrs. Crosby's own collection. One owner — she bought it new and kept it for years, and it is offered here for the first time. Mrs. Crosby is one of the Legends of Texas at the Fort Worth Stockyards, and an accomplished seamstress who sews her own period dresses by hand. One of one: when it is gone, it is gone.
