All Dress Forms - Fashion  Plates  Art  Print  Reproductions

Edwardian hats, feathered hats and toque hats - photos below

 These historical fashion plate art prints have been reproduced as fine art prints and are ideal for grouping as a wall arrangement for interiors. Collecting fashion plates, original or reproduced, is an enchanting plus side to the study of fashion and costume history.  Printed on yellow or aged paper as noted in the individual descriptions of the fashion art prints.

Incredible Edwardian Hats
After the slimmer silhouette arrived, hats developed much wider brims. Lavish trims, such as feathers, often stuck out well beyond the brim. The hats were named “Merry Widow” hats after the popular operetta of the era.

Feathers
Feathers were used excessively as decoration on hats and as boas. The fur skin of whole animals such as foxes and even two foxes were used as wraps about the shoulders. Aesthetes objected to the use of animal products.

 Smaller Toque Hats 1911 -12
By 1911 hats became much smaller, although large wide picture hats were still worn for dressy functions.  These smaller hats of 1911-12 were adorned with stiff spiky hussar plumes and fan effects of ostrich feather.  By 1913 two long narrow plumes called Mephisto feathers gave many hats a curious military quality.

From 1914 the toques developed into tall toques and these were worn with the fashionable high collars of the day.  More feminine styles included wider styles with deep crowns worn low on the head to hide all hair.
