Past, Present and Future

OverTheTop — Wed, 18 May 2011 05:56:35 +0000

She’s a modern girl who loved to play dress-up with her glamorous grandma’s hats. A true fascinator in every sense of the word, this wee raw silk hat is a nod to the past as the bride looks to her future. The small bow gathers a wedge of ivory netting that has been hand-dotted with bits of chenille that are much finer than those on commercial dotted netting. Very old-school. Creamy feathers waft behind as the bride floats down the aisle.

Shown here in ivory with champagne trim. Also available in white.

As shown: $100

What happens when our designers spend a Saturday afternoon watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the movie where Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell have a double wedding, wearing identical dresses and little veiled hats? Well…this! A modern take on a retro hat with a wee tulle veil and a voluptuous handmade chiffon rose with a pearly center. The hat itself is covered in pleated ivory satin, very much in keeping with current bridal gown fashion, but equally at home with a vintage look.

Rock me like a hurricane

Here’s a headpiece that tells the story of a love like a hurricane–wild, dangerous, but totally peaceful at its center. It features a satin-covered base with a storm of hand-placed crystals and and extravagant swirl of feathers to catch the breeze. It attaches with an alligator clip, so you can place it just where you want it.

Feathers up, it’s a little more daring. Feathers down, a bit more of a hat. Either way, it pairs beautifully with a birdcage (sold separately).

Just a sip

She’s just popping in for a teensy little nightcap. Is it her fault heads turn, conversations cease, and the bartender forgets what he’s pouring? Well…yeah, kind of. She knew this sexy little hat of cognac-colored satin with its jagged veil was a hearts-stopper when she put it on. Oh, she knew.

There’s so much going on here, all of it hot: satin hat edged in black ribbon, matching handmade flower with a center of smoky Swarovski crystals, mysterious little veil. It all attaches securely with a comb and a tiny bit of Velcro, just to make sure it behaves…even if you don’t.

Don’t rule it out for a bride. We could even make you a matching sash for your gown.

Dotty

Where are you going with that flower in your hair, girl? Salsa dancing? Wedding on the beach? Outdoor concert? Wherever you go, eyes will follow.

A comment on this site suggested that we make a patterned flower. Why not? This one is black chiffon with white and metallic gold dots, with a beaded center detail–light and sheer for summertime, with just a speck of glitz for evening. As always, it comes with a hair clip and a brooch pin. When you wear it, you’ll appreciate our trick of making these flowers with the bottom layer curved to hug your head…or shoulder, or wherever you might pin a thing of such beauty.
