Dreaming of the Sea
Dreaming of the sea is a handmade silk and lace couture hat in turquoise blues and sea greens with silver accents. This pretty hat is decorated with silk and lace, beads, rhinestones, metal sea creatures and charms. The lace represents the waves and the surf in the ocean, the recycled silk sari ribbons in shades of blues and greens, the ocean and the feathers are the seabirds. Seaweed in ribbons and banana silk with freshwater pearls. This hat is a celebration of the sea in all its raw beauty.
Totally unique, one of a kind pieces! This hat is part of my Precious Moments Collection.
Should you wish to commission a particular piece for a wedding or special event, a bespoke couture hat which can include a veil if you wish, a wrist cuff for your debs for example, please get in touch in plenty of time and we can discuss your ideas to make your dream piece a reality. If you are having an outfit made by a dressmaker, we can use some of the same fabric to make your accessory.

All our products are ready to ship. As genuine craftswomen and artisans, all our items are lovingly handmade from start to finish, so no two hats will ever be exactly the same, ensuring you receive a unique piece of art! They are NOT covered cheap hat bases, but handmade using our own designed paper patterns, materials and techniques. Every hat pattern piece is cut out and put together by hand. All our hats have an open crown and fully lined irrelevant of size or shape.
We work in a smoke free environment.
Colours may differ to those you view on your devices.
***HOW TO WEAR YOUR HAT***
The smaller hats are held on the head by an elastic tape, which is worn around the back of the head to the nape of the neck and hidden beneath your hair (my preferred way). Also some have two hidden braid 'loops' to secure a head band (included one size) hair band and or a hat comb. Pins or grips (not included) are useful too. Hatinators are lightweight, easily positioned and secured at your most comfortable angle!
