HATTY
SPRING!
Romantic
Springtime …
Thoughts of warm breezes and flowing clothing. Out of
the closets come the linen and soft cotton blends in that
lovely light, soul lifting colors. Oh! Spring that brings
the Summer! And this summer is packed with femininity!
The accent is on accessories this season. Glamorous, feminine
details are back in full swing adorning handbags, shoes,
jewelry and hats following the long minimalist fashion
trends.

WHAT HAT FOR YOUR FACE SHAPE?
Here are a few simple guidelines:
 OVAL:
Streamline shapes, worn forward, square or round
crowns, brims swept up on the side(s) or back
ROUND: Medium or small brims, neat
styles, worn forward or on a jaunty slant Asymmetrical
brims will lessen the roundness. profile brims, varied
sizes
LONG: Medium to wide
brims, worn straight or forward Sharp, straight styles
These straight brim styles "cut" the length
appearance of your face
SQUARE: Large brims
with soft lines, upturned brims, round crowns or curved
edge square crowns
WIDE: Off the face
styles, bretons, (upturned brims) pillboxes worn back
These will add "lift"
HEART: Asymmetrical
designs, Square or round crowns tilted to one side, Profile
hats and brims with soft curves.
Still not sure what your face shape
is?
Look at your face in the mirror. With bar soap, trace
the shape of your face directly onto the mirror ... Now
stand back and observe "objectively."
STORE
YOUR WINTER HAT AWAY with CARE !
Your
hat will thank you next fall when you meet again.
BRUSH it gently with a lint brush or a clean toothbrush
works well
STUFF the crown gently with tissue.
REST it atop an old lampshade that has been cut
down enough to support the tissued crown. This will prevent
the brim from supporting the weight of your hat. A
similar shape can be made from poster board CALL ME, (734-284-3417)
and I will mail you a pattern
Place inside a HAT BOX. Add a potpourri sachet
and store away from extreme heat or moisture… and
you'll be ready for action next winter...
