The lovely blog of Chronically Vintage has this amazing post about vintage hats and a give-away which I though would be nice to share with you.
I must admit, I always liked hats, ever since I was a little girl, which for my parents was sometimes very funny (sometimes less) as I put almost al kind of stuff on my head just to pretend I was wearing a hat. I remember I had in my late teenage years a marroon felt hat who looked a little bit like the top a cupcake (I wonder where it has gone... it would have been amazing with one of my vintage dresses) and a black felt fedora who made me look like a Mafia gangster's bride. Still I have a lovely straw fedora I bought in Italy some years ago as a sun-hat.
And of course, there are the hats I am making now myself for my vintage outfits (which are not yet finished or ready to be shown). So I guess there's no need to mention that i LOVE vintage hats. I could spend hours looking at pictures of them in the internet, and I am trying now to figure out how they are made so I can make similar ones.
So Jessica's post just the bull's eye! I am so amazed to participate in this give-away, and I would be soooo happy to have one of the wonderful hats of Blue Rose Vintage. Have a look at the site, it's mouth-watering for someone like me...
Some of these genuine vintage hats already have been sold to hopefully lucky owners (and wearers!), but I think it's still worth showing them and get some ideas for my own vintage style hat creations.
These are my favourites...

A 1940s hat with veil and a huge fabric rose. Awww, I love roses...
This lovely from the 1950s cap is beautifully covered with blue flowers. A darling!
This headpiece from the 1950s would be perfect for a vintage bridal outfit.
A very special 1940s headpiece - I love the shape of it and the wonderful blue colour.
Again, a shape that suits completely my taste (1950s).
Have a look at Blue Rose Vintage's shop, I'm sure you will love these hats as much as I do!
Oh, dear lady! I am with you in love with hats of all kinds! Love your choice of hats! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I know, I can make hats too, myself, but it's always something special to own a vintage hat... :)
