Born 70 years too late!!

I have made a few hats over the last few months and have to say, my favorite style is the cloche. It’s classy. Confident. This is my latest cloche hat, which will be sent out to my good friend, Donna, for her birthday. Donna is a retro-chic diva and will rock this hat.
Donna’s hat is made from Cormo fleece that I purchased from Apple Rose Farm. The hat came together fast, as do most things when I have a particular person driving the inspiration.
Also, my husband and I recently watched “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane,” a horror movie from the 60’s set in the 20’s with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Which got me looking at early photos of Bette Davis. Those styles were so tailored and sexy without being slutty. I wonder if Art Deco fashion will ever be trendy—like teen trendy. Although, I am not sure how great a flapper ensemble would look with “Hollister” embroidered across the chest.
The artist Tamara de Lempicka is one of my favorites. I am missing the reproduction mural Scott painted for me in Mpls.
And I think I found some Halloween costume inspiration in Baby Jane.
