Bridal style cocktail hat

Francesca's cocktail hat cousin

Trying to get a bit more 'out there' with my designs. There can never be "too much" when it comes to fascinators!

Back to my steampunk style mini top hat makin' roots.

To match a gown made by my incredibly talented friend Erinn.

4.5" tall mini top hat in hex appeal zinc charcoal grey fabric. Featuring genuine black leather headband and under brim, rooster tail feathers, glittery black faux thorny branches, teal roses and black Merry Widow veiling.

Mini top hat with bold red blossoms and glass bead berries.

My very first cocktail hat! I had SO MUCH fun making this.

A lovely fascinator for an old-fashioned romantic or bride.
