Vol de Peony from The Couture Silk Collection: Beautiful pale ice blue silk covered teardrop percher hat overlaid with contrasting french slate blue vintage veiling for a ‘chiaroscuro’ effect. Adorned with an array of hand painted and formed silk peonies and hand cut french blue feathers with matching handmade silk peony and feather couture corsage. How to wear: It is a teardrop percher style hat, meaning it sits or peaches to the side of your head. This piece is worn with the point, pointing down to your right side, it is fully lined with marbled blue silk and attaches with millinery elastic. Style Notes: Stunning and timelessly elegant, this beautiful silk hat would be perfect for weddings and the races if you are looking for something sophisticated and ladylike with a vintage like charm.This hat looks great with hair up or down. My Process: I pride myself on using traditional, artisanal millinery techniques in my hat making, the majority of my hats and headpieces are one-off designs. I block and make my own hats and Fascinator bases; make all my own millinery flowers using raw silk, leather or velvet and hot tools and all embroidery and beading is done by hand. Packaging: All hats will be sent in their own complimentary hat box, so you can treasure your piece and keep it in top condition.
