Lady Diane Hats

I think visitors to the fashion-era website will enjoy seeing her hats in the table below. Here are some pictures of hats courtesy of Lady Diane's Hats. Many of the lavish hats here are priced around $59 or $79. One point worth noticing is that Diane's most expensive hat here is $150 and the least expensive here is $35.


Every hat that Diane makes is an original hat designs that is hand tailored. They also have a unique reformable brim designed to accent your style by bending the brim into any shape that you wish time and again. At an extra charge you can also have hats custom made by her and this would give you the opportunity to match for example a bridesmaid's hat to her dress or an historical costume to the hat.

Hatshapers

Carol Marston used to spend hours waiting for her children when they were exiting school and she began to ease the boredom of the long waits by knitting hats as she sat in her car and using up some of her wonderful angora yarns. Eventually she had a pile of hats. She decided she needed a hat block to felt and block some of the fifty knitted angora hats she'd made.She found the traditional wooden blocks on offer quite expensive, so using her knowledge from her days worked as a dental assistant, she experimented with dental moulding products to produce her first modern hatshaping mould.


Further experimentation over a year, led to the creation of plastic moulded bases able to withstand the heavy temperatures involved in steaming hats. Her hat company was born. Carol has found a market for her hat shaping products because they are a modern approach to an old skill. The old skills of hat making are suddenly being revived developed in lots of situations, but in particular for re-enactment events, but often using modern uncrushable materials. So here you have two good links that will enable you to experiment with products to make your own hat or if you are not a creative type you can easily order one to suit you.
