I totally jumped on the cabled tam bandwagon- they are currently my favorite thing to make.

can it be-- that i have something other than black in my wardrobe??On another note- this was not made by me but just too full of crafty gorgeous not to post.
I commissioned Monique Ryan (she has hats at Pretty Things Boutique) to make a little 30's inspired hat to be worn in lieu of a wedding veil (is there anything that girl can't do??). I basically told her what I would like on it (veil in a specific shape, feathers, pearls) but had no idea what she would come up with. I was beyond pleased with the result!
The cute half-moon shape, the flashy pearls, the feathers radiating out of it, the subtle veil, the vintage-y look-- the more I look at it the more perfect it gets! Even the ladies at the bridal store agreed that it was 100% better than any of the cage veil styles they had seen. (the secret is real vintage lace- not the horrible stiff acrylic stuff)
The price was beyond reasonable- almost too cheap for something one-of-a-kind. I only needed to sew on a little hair comb ($0.50 at Michael's) and it was ready to wear.
And if you happen to be interested in THE dress, I put a deposit on that sucker a few days ago. Here is a preview. (DON'T show to Mr. Christopher!)
Tune in next time for: More hats.

Oh, wow Dorothy! The dress looks absolutely stunning, and it'll go so well with that head piece.
You look gorgeous in that dress! Way fierce! And a fascinator instead of a veil makes me worship you... when I get married I may follow suite.
I had no idea they were called fascinators. that sounds... naughty!
Fascinators rule hard. I have a peacock feather one I love.
