Shirtwaist dress with matching fascinator.
I’ve been hit with Fascinator Fever … ever since I saw Kate’s feather fascinator back in March. What’s a girl to do? Make one for herself.
At Lacis in Berkeley, I purchased a small round form. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but over time and pondering I decided to cover the form with extra fabric from my custom-made shirtwaist dress. I simply cut out a round swatch and handsewed it to the form. Initially I was going to embellish it with a bow of the same material, but my mother suggested white flower clips instead. (She even bought them for me. Thanks Mom!) They are embellishment enough and secure the form to my hair.
I wore it for the first time the other day and wow, it’s really comfortable. I know why Kate favors fascinators – no fuss. Not like a hat, which can be troublesome in the wind, flatten hair, and/or cause a headache.
How about you? Do you have Fascinator Fever? Leave a comment and do tell.

LOL. Thanks, Michael for reading and commenting.
[…] Designer Kai Joldeski contacted me after she discovered my article on fascinators. We have much in common – she, a designer of fascinators and me, an admirer. […]
