I often re trim hats for clients who have hats that they need trimming in another colour. Sometimes it is quite a simple trim and other times it can be a very elaborate re trim involving all sort of millinery trickery.
This little paper Panama trilby was a perfect example of just how a re trim can change a hat.
It originally had a black ribbon around it, and is now covered in hand sewn pearls and crystals with white raw silk on the edge of the brim,around the crown and lining.
It will be heading to the Henley Festival early next month and will be perfect for the midnight picnics under the stars. Lets hope it stops raining.!

Chrissie -
I LOVE what you did re trimming this hat. You have inspired me to finally get around to re doing a hat for a friend of mine.
