Royal Hats 
Justin Smith’ feather bergère is divine.
And thank you for featuring my Sunset Boulevard hat. It was great fun to see what I could get out of a flat buntal mat!
It’s a knockout, Wies! I appreciate a hat that looks good from all sides. As always, I wish that your royals would discover your designs.
Thank you MittenMary!
(The colour would be quite appropriate, wouldn’t it?)
