What a great save! I really enjoyed the step by step. A beautiful hat indeed! You also chose the ribbon that I would have.Part IV
The hat arrived and the transformation is complete. From a tattered ladies hat to a beautiful fine panama that has years of wear left in it; if that's not a conversion I don't know what is. It is now one of the finest panamas I own. Still a spot here and there, but this is a hat with a (shady) past and I think that should at least show a bit. I could not be more happy with the work Fleur has done for me on this hat. Gorgeous light coloured and vented sweatband, the bow treatment was restrained to avoid it looking "busy", but the keeper lifts it up again. The crown patch is exquisite.
I award myself bonus points for seeing the potential, but the points for the save and the conversion results go to Fleur of Penumbra hat co. The end results:
