This hat includes a Zebra Hat Box to store it in.

My inspiration for this hat style and coloring was a pair of shoes my daughter bought recently and I wondered how many women would love a hat made to wear with their shoes like she did.  Please note:  Shoes are NOT included. 

This hat is a newly designed millinery pillbox hat and it's round shape has been designed to wear towards the back of the head.  The base frame is made from buckram and millinery wire and the crown of the piece is covered with red cotton velvet and the vamp (walls) is covered with zebra print faux suede fabric.  The only trims are narrow red velvet ribbon with button detail at the back.  The hat is lined with black satin and has two small loops to attach the hat to the wearers head with bobby pins, for freedom of movement.

This one of a kind fascinator headpiece has been completely made by me, the teacup milliner.  My pieces are designed and made the same way I make my hats, in full millinery fashion. From the base which I designed, and made from buckram and wired the edge.  Each piece is lined the same way I line my hats.

I feel there are women who like to enter a room and enjoy all eyes are staring at them, saying "Wow!"  This piece took me awhile to make but it was designed for one of those women in mind.  I made the French veil sculpture to match the fascinator base and added a feather pad of bold biot feathers with a vintage rhinestone cascade.  It is mounted on a narrow steel headband.

My inspiration for this piece is the romantic eras of British history.  This cute stylish hat has a narrow steel hair band to wear the shallow crowned hat without fear of losing it in the wind.  The band can be hidden in your hairstyle.  I was taught to make straw hats when young and on my blog you can see an old video of how this process takes place.

You can now follow me on twitter and facebook and know every time I finish a new piece.

This unique set is perfect for that summer wedding.  I made the fascinator base first and covered it with pink satin.  Then I hand sewed rose petals to build a large pink rose.  Three pink pearls are in the center.  Then I made the matching necklace with pink velvet ribbon and more pink petals.  I added more pink pearls and pink ribbon ties at the back, which can be trimmed to the length you desire.

This is a new Fascinator pattern and it is larger than others I have made and is approximately six inches across.  I named it pure elegance because although it is all black, the beautiful fabric and rhinestones take away any thought of a 'widow's' piece and bring it into elegance.  To understand more how I made it, please see my blog.  A lot of work and design was put into this piece which also reflects the price.
