Wearing vintage dress and hat

I pulled this vintage awesomeness out of my closet a little while back and decided to share it to spread grandma envy. I found this hat in a Salvation Army warehouse for four dollars. I couldn’t tell what era this hat came from because of the style and the materials. It looked very 40’s to me, but the feathers are synthetic and synthetics didn’t come around into popular use until the late 50’s and early 60’s.

I would like to get a better history of this hat but google searching and fishing around etsy haven’t lead to any definite conclusions. For now, I’m happy wearing a ridiculous feather bouffant-like hat on my head with a velvet band.
