Popular in the 50’s – 60’s. Double layer of dark orchid netting, dotted with little floral appliques. Closing is a blue grosgrain ribbon to be tied around the neck. Originally designed to cover those bouffant hair styles.
As for the condition, there is a missing floral applique on the back. Also the blue grosgrain neck tie was probably closer to a purple at one time. Otherwise this is a very attractive vintage accessory.
Very large in size so most heads could easily wear this.

To wear this bonnet, simply place it on your head and tie the blue grosgrain ribbon around your neck. Since there’s a missing floral applique on the back, handle it with care to avoid further damage. For maintenance, spot clean gently with a soft cloth if needed. Enjoy this piece as a wonderful addition to your vintage collection or for a touch of retro style.
