Hats and/or fascinators

Kapoosh · 1st March 2009, 1:41pm

Hello all you creative types! For those of you that make hats and fascinators - do any of you sell your creations, or are they made for your own pleasure?

I've a need to spend money on something that I can't grow out of, and I have a new dress that I'd like some sort of headpiece to go with. Would anyone be interested?

I've a wedding at the beginning of April that I'd like to wear the dress to. It would be awesome to have something by then, but as I've probably left it too late I'd be more than happy just to have something to match for the next time I wear it.

Many thanks!

I think Dawn Stuntgirl on here makes them? Not 100% on that mind

I was at a fashion show in November, there were fascinators there by Tantrums and Tiaras
They were stunning.

I've been considering one of her circlets recently. Yum.

Those are beautiful! I really like the ones that are all wire and beads.

That's awesome! I've always fancied making things like this, can't believe how expensive they are to buy.

if that's the only thing you noticed in that picture then you obviously appreciate neither fashion or a fine female form!

i most certainly noticed the fine female form, but then there's lots of pictures exhibiting the female form on the internet, so that in itself wasn't worth commenting on i figured... but where else can you get a picture of huge cowbells on a staircase!?

I was more concerned about how she had clearly expended such a tremendous amount of effort positioning her fascinator that she no longer had the strength to get dressed.

I do sort of associate elaborate head-gear with more formal events, at which she might expect to attract some tutting with her laissez-faire approach to the below-the-neck attire, she's presumably from the same school that would argue that the chippendales are technically in black tie.
