Vintage 50s Bes-Ben Hat Blue Crystal Floral Crown Fascinator w/Veil

Exquisite cocktail hat by the great milliner of Chicago Bes-Ben!
Featuring a headband across the crown with a perpendicular panel behind -- all in a stiff but flexible blue mesh fabric. The front side ends, as well as end in the rear are festooned with a combination of little green leaves in enamel and crystal, beveled "petals" in smoky blue/lavender color
The whole thing is held together by a wide panelled net that serves as a veil. Interior features the Bes-Ben label.
Would be a lovely "something blue" item for the vintage-loving bride!
label: Bes-Ben. Made in Chicago
condition: very good with no issues other than one break in the netting, typical for cocktail hats with veils from this period
