Because of WWII fabric was in short supply during the 1940’s, so the hat fashions of the time typically were smaller and they were usually military-esque or heavily decorated with flowers, feathers and netting. Carole Landis was a dazzling beauty breaking into the Hollywood movie scene, and knew how to wear these hats to maximize her fashion.
