This fabulous hand-sculpted chapeau will help you turn heads!
Turquoise fur felt dips and swirls into an intriguing, crown-like headpiece embellished with an absolutely gorgeous vintage black silk veiling accented with multi-colored chenille dots. (I have exactly one piece of this stunning veiling, and I hope you love it as much as I do!) An ornament of turquoise felt loops bedecks the back of the hat so that you'll look great coming and going. This hat feels very 1940's to me, but would work beautifully with a modern little black dress, too.
This hat is mounted to a small felt base with an attached comb to secure it into your hair. I will add a millinery elastic as well so that you can wear this beautiful hat securely and with confidence. Please specify an elastic color in the "notes to seller" box at checkout. Black, dark brown, light brown, gray, pale tea-dyed blonde, and white are all available.

I'm so glad you asked! Avoid wearing a straw hat in wet weather because it will quickly lose its shape in the rain. You may also find that some dyed straws' colors will run when wet.
Avoid getting fabric trims like silk flowers, ribbon ornaments and veils wet as these can still look droopy even after they dry again.
If a felt hat becomes wet, stuff it loosely with tissue before allowing it to dry. If your felt looks dull or dusty, you can use a bristle brush to brush up the nap again.
To store, stuff your hat loosely with tissue paper to hold its shape, and put it in its hat box away from dust and sunlight. Never hang a hat or keep it on a stand or its shape could become distorted over time.
