What i have made here is inspired from the iconic Victorian era hats. It is not as exavagent as the original ones but I have tried my best to replicate it.

The victorians have had hats, caps, bonnets, all with high end fashion and luxury. From frills to feathers and all kinds of real and fake flowers. The eye-catching summer hats to the elegent hats matched with their gowns.

The hat I have made here is inspired from the enchanting rose we all love. The base is green similar to the stem of a rose and the flowers are to add a pop of colour and represent the beutiful petals. As well as a bow for a finishing touch.
