Coctail hat is carefully stitched together from yellow and violet felt. It was made by time consuming method, when stitches are handsewn inside of thickness of the material, so there are no visible stitches. This hat is perfect accessory for every day autumn outfit as well as proper headpiece for attendanceat horse-races. Lets dress up a bit ;-)
Each of my contemporary hats is one of a kind piece. I never made two exactly same contemporary hats.
Hat diameter is about 19 cm/ 7,48 inches. Inner side of the the hat is trimmed with grosgrain ribbon and lined by silk with rabbit theme.
How does the hat holds to hotsell your head? There is millinery elastic to secure it to your head (elastic can easily be hidden between the layers of your hair).
All my hats are hand blocked in pure rabbit fur felt. I used traditional millinery technique of steaming and shrinking on the wooden form (millinery hat block). Environmental friendly postal packaging - hats are packed with help of paper stuffing in cardboard boxes, sealed by paper tape. If possible, I reuse packaging from my own purchases to ship new orders (of course only perfectly clean and sanitized boxes). I ask you also for recycle or reuse.
What is difference between velour felt and wool felt? Wool felt is cheaper but have some disadventages. Except of fact that wool is not so nice/comfortable in touch (sometimes it can even scratching), it is also not waterproof and in case that woolen hat soak thru, it can go out of the shape.
