A sculptural 1950s/60s cocktail hat by Janice Custom Designed Chicago, balancing soft sage green with an unexpected burst of vivid fuchsia silk roses.
The rounded crown is finished with a closely pleated bumper edge that gives the silhouette depth without adding bulk. At one side, the fabric rises into a dramatic looped flourish framed by three dimensional rose blossoms and green leaves. The contrast between the muted sage body and saturated floral trim feels romantic, graphic, and remarkably current.
The underside is fully lined in a gold-toned woven fabric and finished with two interior metal combs to help secure the hat against the hair. It is designed to sit at a slight angle rather than cover the head like a conventional full-brim hat, creating the polished asymmetry associated with mid-century cocktail millinery.
Wear it with black tailoring, a minimal silk dress, a sharply cut suit, or a tonal green look that allows the pink roses to take focus. It would also be exceptional for editorial styling, a garden wedding, costume design, or display in a vintage millinery collection.

Fit Notes
Best fits a modern size XS/S based on documented item information. The structured crown is intended to sit at an angle rather than cover the full head. Two interior metal combs help anchor the piece against the hair.
The hat does not appear substantially adjustable. Hairstyle and placement may affect how it sits, but it should not be treated as one size fits most. No numeric hat size is provided.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. The crown retains its structure, the pleated edge remains crisp, and the sage green fabric presents beautifully. The silk roses remain vivid and dimensional, with minor softening and light fraying along some petal and leaf edges visible on close inspection.
The full interior lining is intact, with gentle creasing and faint age-related marks. Both interior combs remain present.
Styling Notes
Pair it with a black column dress, charcoal or cream tailoring, a tonal sage ensemble, or a simple silk slip. The fuchsia roses also make it a natural choice for garden parties, wedding styling, editorial work, costume production, or a deliberately romantic alternative to modern occasion headwear.
