Portrait Of A Lady

Portrait of A Lady from The Couture Velvet Collection: Unabashedly feminine and romantic ‘The Portrait of A lady’ headpiece is a celebration of the Queen of flowers, the blood red rose. Ravishing and rambling red silk and velvet roses, all individually hand made beautifully frame the face and are set on a hand blocked millinery wide band covered in matching blood red velvet. This alluring piece is one of a kind and sure to turn heads. How to wear: Headband style floral wide headband creation. Remarkably lightweight, comfortable and easy to wear. Roses are worn on (your) left side and ramble towards the centre, hat is held secure with hat elastic. Style Notes: Sultry, yet sophisticated like the gorgeous and iconic spicy rose perfume that inspired this piece. This beautiful headpiece would be best worn with a simple black ensemble or if you are feeling daring then by all means, go all out and wear blood red! Perfect for weddings and the races if you want something a little unique and different, could even see it looking stunning on an unconventional winter bride. This headband style 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 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.
