Tip Top mini Topper

small



My mini top hat block is very beautiful even before you use it to make your hat.

Here I have blocked the crown in an open weave natural straw and the brim in pari sisal fine straw.

To create an unusual look I have pulled out some of the woven straw in the crown which has given it a distinctive look.

Each piece has then been dressed in the lovely plaid silk and I added a few feathers to finish off the trim.

It has only been in the shop for a couple of days and everyone has fallen in love with it.

I wonder where it will make it's debut.?

Topping the style stakes with a mini top hat

My lovely mini top hat block creates a terrific shape. Measuring 16cm across the top of the crown it's big enough to be a hat rather than a fascinator.
This one in black straw has a single quill, merry widow veiling and is trimmed in black silk.
Fun, shapely and just a little daring, perfect for head turning glances.
Now ready for popping into it's little red box and then off to the races tomorrow.
Lets hope my client has picked a winner.
