Celebrate the arrival of warmer and sunnier days with a spring fling. Maybe there’s an occasion where you’ll come together with others over cherry blossoms, family activities, music or fundraising. Attire is not prescriptive, but pastel dresses and floral prints might suit the season and the event.
Elevate your look at a garden party with a cotton botanical floral hat. I sewed this one from a McCall’s fashion accessories pattern. It has an asymmetrical brim and a ribbon accent. It’s stylish and functional.
Hats with symmetrical or slanted brims are particularly flattering for those with round or square faces because they break up the natural symmetry of the face and add interest from the angle.
For something more avant garde, try this hat made from the same pattern in a blue leopard print. The fabric is a warp stretch cotton (73% Cotton, 23% Polyester, 4% Spandex). Being mid-weight and sandwiching a substantial layer of interfacing helps to hold the “crisp” hat shape. I knotted a length of paracord to finish the hat.
