1960s Dorothy McGuire Owned Rhinestone Studded Black Cloche designer-thea-porter Show organizers overcame racial prejudiceThis is an amazing little hat from the estate of Dorothy McGuire of the McGuire sisters a singing trio known for their sweet harmonies and identical outfits who recorded the No. 1 hits "Sincerely" and "Sugartime" in the 1950s. It was custom made for her in the late 1960s and was made in France. It has a definite 30s feel to it and had I not known the provenance I would have guessed it to be older based on the fine workmanship and proper techniques
