Bespoke hats and fascinators for stylish individuals

Because girls are in charge!  Have you seen that one meerkat, watching over the others, yes she's a female, in charge, and everyone is looking at her. Wearing millinery is all about socialising, and being seen. Be noticed, for the right reasons, in  fun, unique, and most importantly, a well made hat or fascinator.

The time it takes to design and construct a headpiece can vary, depending on the complexity and choice of materials to be used.  It can take anything from two days to 4 weeks. I prefer to work with high end materials, I recently visited and purchased supplies for Paris and London.

So please allow time for me to source materials if you would like a custom order.

Millinery pricing varies for a number of factors, including time spent on making the headpiece, choice of materials being used during construction, and the choice of trimming to be used.  The trimming of a hat, can take a long time, especially if you are embellishing with beading or handmade flowers. 

Cost can vary from $250 TO $800 for a custom made hat. To discuss, contact Emma. Ph 0413740056.

When you buy a hat or fascinator from a shop or department store,  they are usually fast made items, on machines, using glue (which can often be seen) this is why they are less expensive ( although I have seen very expensive hats with glue and bad stitching!)  you can make an item 10 times faster using machines and glue, but you don’t get a professional, clean  finish.

When you buy from a milliner, your piece should be free of unsightly stitch lines, and glue, and it should look as good from the back as the front!  If  you spend good money on a dress, don't finish your look with sub standard headpiece, often the price you pay from a milliner can be less than some high street stores,  and of course, you're supporting  a local, handmade, artisan  businesses .
