This gorgeous and sophisticated saucer hat is perfect for the Derby, Easter, a wedding, a garden party, or really any special occasion where looking fantastic is in order!
I blocked three layers of very fine, unbleached pinokpok straw on a saucer block and wired and finished the edges in the same bias-cut straw. I twisted pieces of navy-and-white striped Paris cloth to create an elegant and graphic embellishment on the top, then used more of the same material at back to create a bandeau. Hidden underneath the bandeau is a piece of tea-dyed elastic which comfortably hugs the back of the head and keeps the whole piece well-balanced and stable, no matter your head size. A total statement hat!

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.
