Large Brimmed Ivory Hat 'Simply Audrey'

One of our new hats for this year's collection.

Making the hats for our new collection has been very interesting. We design in quite an unusual fashion, no sketching takes place unlike many designers. Our ideas seem to just flow which makes the whole process different to designing with a client. When designing with a lady who is attending a special event we sometimes design hats which are quite different from those on our website, this too is a very enjoyable experience.



This hat has evolved over a few days. Having made the hat it was time to decorate. For this we worked on making very simple elegant flowers made from organza. The end result is quite vintage in style, very Audrey!

The points listed below are just a guide, but ultimately we would always suggest you wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. 1. Hat etiquette/positioning Ladies hats are traditionally worn on the right as dictated by old etiquette where the lady would wear her hat on the right, while her gentleman partner would wear his sword to the left, balancing each other out. Of course nowadays hats can be worn on either side as we no longer follow this etiquette, but you will generally find any purchased hat will be made to be worn on the right or with the decoration on the right. If you would prefer a hat on the left this is perfectly acceptable and a milliner will happily make one for you. 2. Hat proportion The hat size should be in proportion with the wearer.
