Hat Magic!

Just a quick--mildly narcissistic-- update post. The only pictures I currently have of this hat are of me on my webcam! I'll be uploading more detailed shots to this post later (once I retrieve my camera from my room).

So this gorgeous Edwardian hat is in WONDERFUL shape. The underside of the brim has velvet in nearly flawless condition. The straw upper side of the brim is a little bit warped still. The tulle top was, until recently, very flat. The flowers are still in need of some attention.

Before and after steaming the tulle!
