After I interviewed Sewing Blogger and Hat Enthusiast, Chuleenan Svetvilas, I asked her if she would meet me at Lacis to help with some of my millinery choices. We met inside (where I as already busy picking out boning for my foundation garment) and then did the tour of the Millinery section.
Ribbons, Ribbons & more Ribbons!
Look at the things you can do w/ribbon!
Lacis has a large selection of hat forms, Horsehair Braid, Millinery wire, Feathers, ribbons and more. It was a little overwhelming. I finally decided on several different ribbons, a pink feather flower, assorted ostrich and other feathers, some wire & petersham ribbon for the brim.
for my hat....
