From memory this was a vintage 1950s hat, that was up for auction on eBay a long time ago…

I would love a feathered costume like this for my fan dance. The feathered cap is gorgeous!

Rosy cheeked flappers, ivory skin barely less pale than the strings of pearls around their necks. The opulence! Love the headdress on the girl in the background, and oh the pink ostrich feathers – I’m dying to buy a set of pink ostrich feather fans, so that I can perform a feather fan dance to La Vie En Rose, sung live by my friends (and fellow Killer Dillers) Nathan Bugh and Evita Arce. Their harmonies are beautiful, and I’d love to dance en pointe with their voices and a set of rose-coloured feather fans. But I guess the rose colour is just for the wordplay, and I could just as well do it with my white fans… so it’s hard to justify right now! *sigh*

Lovely and delicate, it would look as lovely worn over a vintage dress, as it would thrown over a white singlet with blue jeans and kitten heels. I can’t remember how this image ended up in my collection, but in searching for similar things, I’ve discovered that the loveliest boleros seem to be reserved for brides. Pah!! Buy a bridal bolero and wear it as you please, I say!
