Hat lovers often enjoy the wide brimmed hats, most favouring the elaborate trim, whilst others like to see a beautiful shape with a minimal trim. A Picture Hat is a great way to frame the face and add that little extra romance, a sure way to catch the photographer’s eye.
Hats with brims can be scaled up or down by the hat maker. It’s always important to work with each client, designing to their individual needs. When I’m hatting I work around the outfit to be worn, the occasion at which it’s to be worn and most important of all the personality of the client. Over the years there have been many different ideas about the rules of wearing headwear regarding a person’s height and size. As a Milliner, I’ve always enjoyed listening and learning right from my very first Millinery experiences. However, whilst expert advice is always good, there is nothing quite like trying headwear on with an open mind, whether it be a hat with a brim, a cocktail hat or fascinator. From the large hats to the perched pill box, posing in the mirror usually tells us a story and it’s good to read our body language. When something suits us, we usually like it!
So whether it’s a hat for the mother of the bride or mother of the bride groom, a headpiece for the bride or a quirky fascinator, hats are good to give the wearer confidence….. and a confident customer can wear the hat so well….
