1950's Pillbox Hat

It's a Monday morning and I have decided to add this one-off handmade bespoke pillbox hat made by us using an original 1950's hat block to Etsy.

This hat is made from black sinamay and is overlaid with an embroidered black fabric with pink flowers and green leaves. Within the flowers there are several shades of pale pink. We have added a black birdcage veil which goes all the way around the hat and comes to a bow at the back and it is perfect for any special occasion.

We have designed this pillbox to sit either to the right or the left of the head at angle towards the front of the head. It is attached using hat elastic and hairgrips can be used for added security.

As with all our hats at Adrienne Henry Millinery we used traditional millinery techniques and all our hats, headpieces and fascinators are fully and lovingly handmade and hand stitched by us in the UK.

We have made this pillbox in other colours which will soon also be not only available in the shop in Reading, Berkshire, but also online in our Etsy shop.

Wedding Style Guide: How to wear a hat to a wedding

Whether you are the mother of the bride or groom, the bride herself or just a guest wanting to make a statement, here is our guide to wearing hats to a wedding. 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.
