I wouldn't have thought of steam, but then again, this is all new to me! Glad you are holding lessons! Guess what? You would be proud. I'm having a beautiful vintage hat featured on my blog tomorrow! Every time I see a pretty one, I think of you. ;-)

Caroline , I agree!
DeleteThis is such a great post! I LOVE wearing hats! I wear beanies far too often during the fall/winter. Too bad not all hats look great on me...but once I find one that I like, I wear it to death. haha...

EMA, thank you so much.
DeleteThose are some very useful tips, and that pink hat is such a pretty colour for you, suits you perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteTerrific tips for sure, Kathleen, thank you very much for sharing. Despite its (sometimes) seemingly fragile nature, a lot of millinery work is so well made that with proper care, hats can often last for decades (or, even in some cases, hundreds of years), and these tips can certainly go a long ways towards making that happen.

I love your hat academy and the pink hat. I admire that could bear hat - how get I started? Every time I try a hat it look wrong for me You are always so lovely with hat :)
ReplyDeleteAnne-Marie, you are very beautiful and have an old world regal demeanor in your blog posts - like the Queen mum in her earlier days. I think the first problem with finding a hat is often in the wardrobe. A lot of trendy and modern workplace clothes just don't match with pretty, floral hats. Do you have any sundresses or a simple shift dress in a solid color? Often it is helpful to shop in a pretty dress so the hat in a hat shop has a chance to 'match' with a feminine dress. I also love cloche hats for winter, paired with a simple coat in a solid color. Thanks for your compliments and good luck!
