I have always been a maker of things. My first memory of making things was when I was a little girl. I would cut up old sheets while sitting on the living room floor and try to figure out how all the pieces could be fit together to make something. My fascination with fabric has never been far from my mind. I have always had needle and fabric in my hands. I started designing my own cloths in Jr high and never stopped, some 40 years ago. I have always had a love for hats. When I discovered the internet I knew I could now make and sell my hats. I am so excited to have found a place to share and grow my love of hats.
I offer custom made and ready to wear hats. Hat designs from the 1900's Victorian era past the Roaring 20's flapper days and beyond the World War II Bombshell hats. A hat shop dedicated to the fashions of the past with a connection to the styles of today.

Jan 4, 2017The hat was beautiful and my girlfriend loved it. It would gain on being packed in a hat box, hence the missing star.

May 7, 2014I was looking for a hat for the Kentucky Oaks/Derby and I found it on Gail's website. I contacted her via email and she immediately responded to me that she could make the hat in the colors that I wanted. She had the hat done in a week and shipped to me promptly. I received so many compliments on that hat! It fit perfectly and I felt like a princess wearing it! Thank you Gail!
