A Work In Progress

I love tiny top hats. 

I want to sell decorated, tiny top hats.

Here are pictures of a work in progress, meaning it is not finished.

The lighting in my apartment does not do the colors justice.  The hat, itself, is brown felt.  The band/bow is gold-trim forest green organza and burgundy satin.  It was sewn on the hat to make sure it didn't slip and look ugly.  There are brown sequin/glitter accents, gold buttons, and dark, coppery peachy pink satin ribbon loops.  They look Carnation Pink in the pictures, and it irks me. 


I'm thinking of finishing this by putting a vintage-look brown net cage-veil in the front, a few more accents on the side, and toothed clips or a wire comb to keep the hat on the head.  The wire combs do not tear at the hair, and they slide better into cornrows than plastic combs.  They would also be easier to sew on the hat. 

Any comments are welcome.
