Commission:

 

There’s nothing more thrilling to make then a glamorous  mother of the bride or groom hat.

My customer was a stylish woman wearing a lovely blush pink dress with a black,  eyelash lace overlay. She wanted  a handmade hat  to perfectly match her outfit.

She came to my studio and together we came up with  a design to complete her outfit.

 The Hat base had a large slanted brim with a short rounded crown made from sinamay in blush pink.  The hat was edged in black sinamay around the edge of the brim  and the crown.

I then stitched  black eyelash lace around the edge and embroidered it with delicate glass beads.
A large,  spiky  dusky pink flower centred the hat. The flower was made from stripped and dyed feathers dotted with black Swarovski crystals. Then Large sinamay loops were curled  around the flowers in shades of pink.

The hat was attached on a handmade light weight wire headband coloured to the shade of my customer hair.  Then a comb was stitched into the hat to act as  an anchor.  

 

My customer loved her hat and sent these wonderful images to N.Joy.Millinery.
