Description
Black button hat covered with sequin fabric with a petersham ribbon bow and a pair of curled pheasant feathers.
This stylish hat is fully lined with a contrasting lime green silk and trimmed with a black petersham ribbon.
As with all my occasion hats, I make this elegant piece by hand, using traditional millinery techniques. This particular hat is hand-blocked and hand-sewn, except for a small amount of machine stitching on the lining.

How to Wear this Hat
I have designed this hat to be worn to the right of the head, allowing the feathers to create an illusion of height.
A thin elastic is used to secure the hat in place. This elastic is thin enough to be hidden in your hair, thereby creating the illusion that the hat is magically perched on the head.
Where to Wear this Hat
This piece is incredibly versatile. Small and chic, yet with statement sequins, this hat would look just as good at Acot, as it would if worn to a Winter wedding, or a swish cocktail party.
