The larger 8" pillbox base is made in sturdy triple-ply red sinamay, lined in silk so that your hair colour is not visible through. It fits the head comfortably and feels secure thanks to the comb and millinery elastic. The detailing on this hat is tremendous - layering subtly glistening Black rambling rose decals below Black crin veiling, a Red sculpted knot bow rising above, a layered bow of gently teased crin behind, and a tremendous fan of softly bobbing feathers above and across the crown - all topped off with a pair of stripped quills that curl up dramatically above everything else.
This unique design would be ideal for Ladies Day at Royal Ascot or a race day event, or as a memorable statement for a significant guest at a smart wedding. Read my guide on wedding hat etiquette if you have questions about when to wear your hat on the day.
As with all pieces in my ready-to-wear hat collection, this design is one of a kind - once it has gone, it is gone for good. My guide on how to choose a ready-to-wear wedding hat online is well worth a read before you buy, and you can find out why so many Mothers of the Bride choose Marvellous Millinery for this very special day. If you would prefer something designed entirely around your own outfit, please do get in touch to arrange a private bespoke consultation in my Rose Garden Studio in Winchester.
