Millinery Makeover!
Nov. 8th, 2009 08:14 amNearly two years ago, i made a post about a sinamay straw tricorne. The hat has been on display in the millinery studio area ever since, waiting for the perfect show and character to come along, and for a designer to see it and have an "a-ha!" moment.
That has happened on Nicholas Nickleby--costume designer Jan Chambers wanted the hat made over for the character of "Mrs. Crummles," the flamboyant wife of a theatrical impresario. I was thrilled the hat was going to finally make its stage debut, though i never would have foreseen what it would eventually become! This is what it was to begin with:
The original hat of cream sinamay straw, trimmed with silk organza,
a burnt black ostrich plume and a horsehair cocarde.
And this is what i made it over into: ( transformation photos )
