Thank you! And, you know, i always try to write blog posts which show what *I* would want to see, if i were reading about something and hadn't witnessed it. And dangit, if the hat collapses and re-pops, that's a video moment!
She salvaged the mechanism from a modern hat marketed toward stage magicians, and cited as "child size." It came with a plastic brim and covered in some sleazy poly jersey, which is fine for a stage magician's purposes, but Adrienne pulled all that off and rebuilt the hat.
She used the plastic brim to block a new buckram one, then covered the hat in silk faille and trimmed it in silk crossweave bias and satin ribbon. Super cute!
