Wanted to share a project with you! :)

Victorian-Style Garden Rose Hat (Pink)




Just a small weekend project :) This lovely Victorian styled garden hat is perfect for a stroll in the park, or a tea-party. There are three synthetic French roses (pink) secured to the brim, along with a gathered cotton lace fan behind the roses. There is also a long sheer ribbon the same color as the roses attached to the brim so that you can secure this elegant sunhat under your chin.

I'm also working on a few in other colors like powder blue, maroon, and possibly yellow. Do you have any suggestions? :D I want to make the next few more elaborate, so I'm thinking of also adding tulle, feathers, more lace, glass pearls, etc. 

Also - I'm planning on selling these upcycled Victorian garden hats on my website. In your honest opinion, what do you think this is worth? xD 

Thank you so much ladies! (Also - I hope the mods are okay with this, this isn't a direct link to my shop. I'm starting to design more lolita accessories and garments. Could you guys take a look at my brand's facebook page and tell me what you think (maybe even click like :D *wink*)? Not all of it is lolita, but there are some accessories, and two skirts that are. Any constructive comments always help me grow as a fashion designer. Especially one that wants to start designing more lolita <3)
