Pill Box Hat

 

I love Pill box hats, in general they bring such panache to the right outfit and veiling softly draped across the eye always looks good.
This is a very soft peach boom felt in mink with a vintage petersham ribbon trim,  The pearl beads are swarovski and you might just be able to spot tiny seed beads on the veiling. This one has now left the shop and is on it's way to a wedding in Greta Green in Scotland. The pin was left in until the lady had tried it on, but don't worry I did take it out after I added the final stitch.

Jewel coloured Pill Box Hat

A mixture of pinks,mustards and greens where put together to create a little jewel of a pill box.

Raw silk gave everything a beautiful glow, veiling added texture and bead work plus a quill added drama.

The clutch bag was made in matching silk and when put together with an Amanda Wakeley 1940's inspired dress it was a killer combination. It will be off to Ascot ladies day next week so lets hope the sun shines so we all get to see more gorgeous hats and accessories.

Classic Navy

Classic Navy never seems to be out of style for very long.Here I have made a pill box hat with a pearl trim and soft veiling and a blocked beret that has a smart chequered quill and slightly heavier veiling
The pill box is made of sinamay while the beret is fine straw so both are very light and make them a good choice for an indoor event.
Team either of these hats with a vintage suit or classic dress for a touch of that Jackie O killer style.
