the further adventures of EleanorLucy Millinery designs


"My headsize is 25 & ½ inches! When I was trying on top hats they all looked big and heavy. Ellie suggested black silk instead of felt, with a tall tapered top to balance everything out.

She even embroidered our wedding date on the headband."

"I was so thrilled with Ellie's work. She dyed the colours of the feathers to match perfectly with my outfit. I felt a very special Mother of the Bridegroom."

Diane Swindells, Warwickshire

"I wanted a fairly informal ‘fun’ hat that matched my dress and that I could keep on all day. Other headbands tend to give me a headache, but this percher on a hairband was perfect. Ellie bent the wire to exactly fit my head and I could forget about having a hat on. It’s such a happy hat and worked perfectly with my dress, I had so many compliments!"

Madeleine McGrath, Warwickshire
 


"I needed something 20's themed, but everything I tried seemed overly decorated or uncomfortable. Ellie came up with a concept that was simple and elegant, and perfectly completed my outfit. And, I was able to dance all night without it slipping or falling off. I definitely felt like the best dressed at the party!"
