Description
Gold pleated silk button hat, with a vintage mother of pearl buckle.
This piece is fully lined inside with a complimenting paler gold silk.
As with all my occasion hats, I make this elegant piece by hand, using traditional millinery techniques. I have hand-blocked and hand-sewn this particular hat, except for a small amount of machine stitching on the lining.
Dimensions of Hat
- Diameter: approximately 14cm (5.5 inches)
- Height: approximately 4 cm (1.5 inches)
- Circumference: approximately 42cm (16 inches)
How to Wear this Hat
This hat can be worn to the left or right of the head.
The hat features a thin dark brown elastic band, which is used to secure the piece in place. I have selected an elastic which is thin enough to be hidden in your hair, thereby creating the illusion that the hat is magically perched on the head. This band should be worn to the back of the head, behind the ears and sit comfortably at the nape of the neck.
Where to Wear this Hat
I designed this hat with versatility in mind. In fact, it’s a piece that can be worn whatever the season, or occasion. Indeed, it would look just as fitting at a Summer wedding, as it would at an Autumn race day, or even a Winter cocktail party.
