Hats aren't as popular now as they once were which is a shame. A good hat can finish any outfit whether it's on the stage, the catwalk or just in the high street.

As usual, you can get a better look at the images on the left by clicking on them. The cream coloured hat with the bow is part of a theatrical costume made for a production of Frankenstein. You can see more about that by clicking here.

The Egyptian-style headdress was made from 'scrap' material. A brass plate, which was already cut into shape, was secured to the strip of leather with copper wire. The hair is fake and sewn on by hand with gold thread. It just shows what can be done with almost any material with a bit of imagination.
