Millinery

Hats and fascinators are made to order using fibres such as sinamay, silk, straw or wool felt.
Having a hat made for you ensures you will have a unique, well-constructed creation which fits you and suits you. It can be made to match the various colours in your outfit. Having an existing hat personalised with attractive trimmings is a cheaper option than commissioning a hat.

“Fancy a fascinator? If so, spend some time with Norma at one of her workshops. I had a fantastic day working with her. Norma is a great teacher and unbelievably patient. She offers loads of advice, but does not do your work for you. At the end of the day everyone's work will be their own and different from the person next to you. Thanks Norma, I had loads of fun and friends have admired my work.”

“I spent a fantastic couple of days making my first hat. Norma was full of fun and boosted my confidence all the way through. I ended with a hat that I was really proud of. Thank you Norma.”

“Norma has some amazing millinery creations, ranging from the traditional wide-brimmed wedding hat to party fascinators, all of which Norma can tailor to meet her clients’ specific needs. Each hat has a wonderful quality and you can see the attention to detail with which each has been created. On meeting Norma you are immediately aware of her passion and eye for style, and her sense of fun. She provides a professional and very personable service.”

“Thank you so much for the dresses and two piece! The workmanship and finish is beautiful, and they are all perfect for my age and shape! Can't wait for the jacket to add to my capsule wardrobe!”
