Frankie's Hen Party

Fourteen ladies had a wonderful afternoon making headpieces and fascinators before heading for cocktails. Sewers of all experiences enjoyed a chance to use their imagination and creativity to make some wonderful fascinators, headpieces and pill boxes whist enjoying home-made cakes, tea and other bubbly drinks.

I really enjoyed my afternoon working with you all.

If you'd like to organise a millinery hen party in the Cambridge area, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

MILLINERY QUOTES:

"A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armour, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothes and wearing a costume; it's the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it's the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath, to make all others feel jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about. A piece of magic is a hat". M. Sliter

"The hat is not for the street: it will never be democratized. But there are certain houses that one cannot enter without a hat. And one must always wear a hat when lunching with people whom one does not know well. One appears to one's best advantage." Coco Chanel

"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves, And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter." Jenny Joseph

"The hat I was married in, will it do? White, broad, fake flowers in a tiny array. It's old-fashioned, as stylish as a bedbug, but it suits to die in something nostalgic." Anne Sexton
