Inspired by a recent trip to the Brooklyn Museum to see an exhibit of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo's wardrobe, I created this lovely floral crown headpiece as tribute to her. Frida, of course, tucked real flowers from her own garden into her elaborate hair styles but this pieces is the next best thing. There are three silk flowers here: a large, pale pink rose in front, a navy blue silk rose in back, and a navy vintage velvet flower tucked between them. The flowers are nestled into a hand-sculpted, navy melusine (long-haired) felt base, and I also added a bit of gorgeous, vintage blue silk veiling to amp up the femininity.
This lovely headpiece is attached to a navy velvet ribbon wrapped headband and has a metal comb attached so that it can be worn both securely and comfortably. It frames and flatters the face beautifully and will look absolutely stunning worn to an art opening, wedding reception, cocktail party, or any special evening out.

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.
