I think maybe I have a funny-shaped head. Anywho, perhaps fascinators are the best way to start? And if I understand them correctly, they are sheer decoration, no practical function? Maybe hiding blushing cheeks? Or a bad pimple? Perhaps a veil is one of those things you just have to get used to - like seeing yourself in curly hair and red lipstick without feeling silly. <br /><br />Looks just darling!<br />cheers,<br />DaisyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-14953965863962998932010-07-25T22:43:21.733-04:002010-07-25T22:43:21.733-04:00oh goodness, I LOVE the velvet strawberries!oh goodness, I LOVE the velvet strawberries!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-41087387029066329212010-07-25T12:34:06.424-04:002010-07-25T12:34:06.424-04:00I think that looks like so much fun!

I just completed a hat toile - small-scale, so that I could practice the sewing directions. It was gigantic Vogue 8213 - a grand sunhat - to protect my easily-scorched head.<br />My favorite hat book of all time (which I think I saw advertised in the back of Victoria magazine in the 80's)is Denise Dreher's from the neck up. Now, thanks to your blog, I know where I can order some millinery supplies.

Here's a link to some hat instructions, http://www.vintagesewing.info/1950s/52-hmh/hmh-intro.html and you can buy a reproduction of both of Ruby Carnahan's books if you Google her. I think the company is Dakota Prairie Treasures.<br /><br />Also, buckram hat frames are available here http://www.patternstudio.com/hatframes.htm <br /><br />I especially like the bridal head bands - cover with fabric and add veils, beads, feathers, etc. Watch "Mona Lisa Smile", particularly the wedding sequence, for hat ideas.<br /><br />Love the blog.Heather Khttp://vintage heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-11895108026584708612010-07-23T18:48:41.171-04:002010-07-23T18:48:41.171-04:00Um, I ♥ vintage hats, and being crafty, and Buffy,...Um, I ♥ vintage hats, and being crafty, and Buffy, and sleepovers!!!
