Pillbox Hat / Fascinator with bow - Black

Classic pillbox hat or fascinator with a birdcage veil (dotted/patterned net veil) and prominent ribbon bow, a style particularly popular in the mid-20th century, notably the 1950s and 1960s. The netting has some holes, see images. The fabric shown is a satin with a dotted jacquard (or clipped dot) pattern. • The base has the smooth, lustrous sheen typical of satin weave. • The small raised dots are woven into the fabric itself (not printed or embroidered), which is characteristic of jacquard weaving. • The dots look like tiny clipped or tufted knots, often called dobby dots or swiss dots when done on lighter fabrics. So, more precisely, this is a polka dot jacquard satin (referred to as swiss dot satin, texture is more pronounced).
