    30.00 GBP

    1920s fabulous flapper Cloche hat

    Here I have the most elegant looking 1920s cloche hat it is made up in a green gold chenille fabric that looks more of a sand colour in the pictures I try to have a good colour balance with all my hats fabric it can be difficult getting it right as all p.c screens and as my camera is showing it to me more of a sand colour
    The style of the hat is a full head pull on hat that turns up at the front the centre part of the hat I have added 2 sparkly gold motif one at each side also added all the way around the hat there is olive coloured feathers it is also fully lined in a cream lining

    The internal measurement of this hat is 22.5 inches making it's size a medium
    ideal for any re-enactment you may have coming up
    it would most certainly complete any 1920s /30s out fits ideal for amateur dramatics /thoroughly modern Millie/ murder on the orient express/ photo shoots/ weddings /window displays you name it this little hat will fit any occasion

    Please remember I personally hand make and style/decorate every hat
    to a very high standard. What you are buying is a quality hand made unique
    item. There may be similar hats out there but they will not be
    exactly the same! If you would like a sample of the fabric for colour matching please send a stamped address envelope and I will be happy to send you a small swatch..

    How do I measure my head?
    Using a flexible dressmakers style measuring tape and place it around your
    head about half inch (1 to 2 cm) above your ears and eyebrows.

    Head Measuring Tips…
    1.. If doing this on your own sit in front of a mirror so you can visually
    check the tape is sitting at the correct level above your ears & eyebrows
    and is sitting correctly around your head. You can also have the tape meet
    at the front of your head so you can read the measurement.

    2.. take the measurement two or three times to be sure you have it right.

    3.. Make sure you don’t have your finger under the tape measure, please
    don’t laugh this does happen :0)

    4.. A loose measurement will result in a loose fitting hat while a tight
    measurement will result in a tight fitting hat.

    5.. If you don’t have a flexible measuring tape you can use NON stretchy

    string in place of the measuring tape and measure that against a ruler,

    though this is a slightly less accurate way of measuring your head.
