Hats Under Constrution

So I finished the pink beret with the vintage navy twisted ribbon as the trim. Its very striking on and just needs a simple dress to pair with it. It has a navy sinamay blocked inner and the open weave blocked outer. I love brimless hats but they do leave you very exposed so not always the choice for the first time hat wearer.

The middle image is a reversible sun hat, yellow one side and check the other. It folds up into a small triangle and will pop into a bag while you don't need to wear it. It's so easy to leave a larger hat behind when your on holiday isn't it !

Finally the gold and grey hat has now been sewn together but I haven't taken a picture as yet. Every time I try the light seems to fade or some other distraction happens so I will get one taken for the next post.

Wedding Preperations

March today and as we slide towards Easter that means one thing for lots of milliners.

WEDDINGS.

Lots of people get married at Easter as schools have a 2 week holiday and it's the first chance of slightly warmer weather here in the U.K. although it's never guaranteed.!

So although we are still selling warmer hats and accessories we are pushing ahead with hats for Spring weddings and here are a few from last week.

A knotted straw with asymmetrical brim and pretty print trim. A soft green button hat with hand tooled silk apple blossom and a two tone grey and ivory medium topper hat with a distressed crin trim.

All very different but then so are weddings.

Which would you choose.?
