A new Edwardian hat I just got from France.

This is a large hat from ca. 1910-1912. It is made of natural and black colored straw braid. There is a large statement bow made of red velvet and green silk. Stitched onto this bow are two wonderful steel cut buckles with rhinestones. The most amazing aspect of this hat is the large exotic taxidermied bird with bird of paradise plumes.

The label inside the crown reads, “Aux Trois Quartiers, Boulevard de la Madeleine, Paris.”

Marilyn Miller, Photo by Baron Adolph de Meyer, 1918.

Marilyn Miller (1898-1936) was one of the most popular Broadway musical stars of the 1920s and early 1930s. She was an accomplished tap dancer, singer and actress, and it was the combination of these talents that endeared her to audiences. On stage she usually played rags-to-riches Cinderella characters who lived happily ever after. Her enormous popularity and famed image were in distinct contrast to her personal life, which was marred by disappointment, tragedy, frequent illness, and ultimately her sudden death due to complications of nasal surgery at age 37.

Had to throw together a quick display to properly show my newest antique Edwardian hat!

This is a large hat from ca. 1910-1912. It is made of tightly woven Milan straw braid with an upturned brim. It has black velvet ribbon around the crown, along the back, and on underside of the brim. The best part is the abundance of lovely handmade silk flowers and foliage!

This hat is completely lined and has a stamped label which reads, “Duffy McInnerney Co., Rochester, N.Y.”

It’s been a while since I’ve spotted a recycled costume! @kathrynethegreat you might like this one!

This beautiful white floral hat which is most likely a real antique, was first used in the 1997 film “Titanic,” where it was worn by a background extra during the afternoon tea scene with Frances Fisher and Rochelle Rose.

It was then seen the very next year in the 1998 NBC Mini-Series, “A Will of Their Own,” worn by Diana Scarwid as Crystal Eastman.

Funnily, the executive producer of “A Will of Their Own,” said in a 1998 interview how they were having difficulties finding authentic period clothing for the mini-series because the costume crew of “Titanic,” had snatched up every piece of clothing in town for their massive production. You can read about that in this article.

This hat must’ve switched over to the latter production really quickly to be used. There are probably several other recycled costumes in “A Will of Their Own,” but I have yet to find anymore.

Portrait c. 1910 - can’t decide if that magnificent hat is a Merry Widow, a Gainsborough, or a giant tricorn!
