Little known fact: Heather and I have been known to dabble in the art of hat making ourselves. That is why when I came across this pretty pink piece, I just could not resist posting it! This hat is called The Duchess because it is a creation inspired by Georgiana's picture hat. It is certainly something you might want to have for the 2009 race season or just for wearing to a promenade with your girl friends.
It is for sale at Vienna La Rouge's Etsy shop, which can be found here. Have you ever dabbled in the dangerous world of haberdashery??? I would love to see your recreation hats!
I have dabbled a bit, but I plan to dabble a lot next year. Gainsburough hat here I come!
ReplyDeleteOh you must! and when you do there better be pictures... Heather has some good advice on working with feathers for a Gainsborough hat!
ReplyDeletehonestly if i looked even remotely hot in a hat...i'd check it out...but i don't and so i wont :(
ReplyDeletebut for you???? simply stunning!
You got to have the look to pull off a hat like that and I, sadly, do not. I look funny in any hat. But, I am looking anyway, use as decoration? Christmas is coming and I am hoping for a little spending money. He He.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for such a nice mention of my work! Over the coming months, I hope to get back to the millinery. I've just moved from Seattle to Northern California, so things have been a bit too hectic for me to do a lot of sewing/millinery.
ReplyDeleteStay tuned to my Etsy page though, there will be more lovely items soon!
XOXO
