Except you have nothing to wear to the races. I mean sure you have dresses and heels and maybe a clutch that can work, but what about the millinery?

So you start thinking about what you want. You're not quite confident for a big hat, this is after all your first foray into millinery. You don't want something too dainty though, you still want people to notice you after all. So how to do that. You could go with a fascinator, they're always appropriate when you're just not sure but you want to be a thoroughly modern Millie.

So what's new in the millinery crown, well you could go a floating headpiece but you're just not that bold. So how about a crown? Sure crowns have been around for centuries, but not like this. Not bridal and royal but modern, new and fresh. With beads and veiling, leather or pleather and feathers, blocked with sinamay or covered in fabric, 3 dimensional, covered in flowers or butterflies. Fun, elegant and easy to wear.

 Feathered millinery crowns are simply as described, they mainly consist of feathers. Whether it be on a halo, on a wire frame or feather flowers, the main feature is the feather. They can be mounted onto a headband or on a wire base with a hair comb.

Leather and pleather millinery crowns are made of leather or pleather. The material has been shaped into flowers and they are perched on the head on a metal headband that has been wrapped in ribbon, or are on a halo above the head, while also being attached to a headband. The may also be on a wire frame with elastic instead of a headband and these sort wrap around the head with the elastic going under the ear as opposed to a headband that stops behind the ear.
