Little Hattie

I've been in a hat making mood lately. This one I made for an upcoming wedding that has a blue/white/grey theme. I spent ages looking for a dress, since my wardrobe doesn't really have any of those colours. When I finally found a nice light grey dress, it was too long, but I bought it anyway and decided to shorten it. So from the leftover fabric I made a hat to match the dress and an ascot tie for my other half so he can just use his black suit and still have a dash of the theme colours.

The hat has a tail of two tones of grey tulle, white fabric flowers (from H&M, they had some flower hair clips for sale so I got a ton of those, the flowers are easy to use for crafts and I can use the clips for hats later on!) and some paper and wire twig-thingies with white berries. I also glued some petals on the twigs to make them look like flower buds, the petals are cut off from the white flowers to get different sized flowers.

I made the base my self, it's white thick felt starched with sugar.

The dress is pretty plain, just light grey organza with a silver fabric underneath, so I felt a simple fascinator would compliment it well. I got more excited about the hat business and finishing the hem of the dress is still a work in progress, but I'll take pictures with the dress and the hat when I'm finished.
