Help w/date & style name for felt cov\'d wire frame hat w/feather flowers.Thanks!

Hello Wise and Wonderful VFG Forum Friends!
I'm a collector and independent seller of vintage clothing.
But... hats? Not really my forte.
I came across this beautiful hat last year. I've tried to research it, but I am unsure as to what era it dates from or what this style of hat is called.

Here's a brief description:
Outer, Teardrop-Shaped, Wire Frame, Covered in Felt Fabric.
Inner, Wire Frame Circle, also Covered in Felt Fabric. The Circle's Center (underside) is a Soft, Velvety, Black Fabric.
The Top of the Circle Features a Glorious Crown of Golden & Golden/Black Feathers - Formed into Flower-like Blooms - with Long, Slender, Wispy, Black Feathers Extending from the Centers.
Extending From the Back/Left of the Frame is a Fine, Black Hair Net/Snood.

Label:

Blue and White, Satin Label. On one side: "NEW YORK Creation * Adjustable" with the letters "T" and "V" along the edge. On the other side: "Mfd under FAIR LABOR STANDARDS * CONSUMER Protection LABEL" with "286889" along the edge.
If you recognize the era and/or style, please let me know.
Thank You So Much!
Lisa

Oh so cute. I'm a total hat person.

That is a 1940's tilt hat. The small disks like that were popular from the mid to late 40's. The New York Creation label was started in 1940 and was used throughout the decade.

Yes 1940s. I have always called little confections that are not full hats whimsies, thats what we called them when I was a milliner, but tilt hat seems to be the common vintage term today.

Tilt-top whimsy is actually what popped into my mind. I loved it when the Pointer Sisters revived all the little flirty tilty hats.

What a great hat! I'd love to see it "on." And, goodness, I'd forgotten all about the term "whimsy," and yes, I remember these being called that when I was a little girl.

Hurray!
I'm always learning.
1940's Tilt-Top Whimsy.
The "Whimsy" name's Adorable!
I appreciate the information about the label, too.
Thank You All So Much!
