Hat help for my costume

**freudstein** · 10-10-2008,01:51 PM

Hey guys....I have found a small selection of hats on ebay, using the wording recommended by Rikki. So I'd appreciate a little help choosing which would suit the outfit best:

I really like the veils on the first two, I love the feathers on the last one, but I don't like the lace on the last one.

There were a handful of stunning hats, but price or the item unable to be shipped to me ruled those out

And just incase you missed the thread with my costume pic in, here you go:

Any help is appreciated.

I prefer the second hat.

but if you like the third one better, take off the lace

second hat

I prefer the shape of the third and think the feathers are really cool. You could take the lace off of it and add a veil. If that's too much work (or extra cost) go with the second one.

You could also do a Google search for the terms I gave you. Steampunk and Lolita are huge in Japan and they normally ship worldwide. There are a lot of websites selling those types of clothing.

The second hat would look the best, but put your hair up. With your long hair down, the fabric coming off the back of the hat would get lost; and the effect would be missed.

I like the third one with the feathers. Just remove the lace. Maybe replace the lace with black lace. I like the shape of the hat and the feathers with the costume.

the second hat for me too

OK, going with the majority vote, I am currently the winning bidder on the 2nd one. It ends tomorrow, so hopefully it'll be mine! I'll post a new pic of the costume with it, if I win.
