Happy Easter



From my doll family to yours, we wish all of our friends a very Happy Easter.

The holiday came very early this year, a little too close to Paris week. But, the new girls in the house got into the box of head gear and started their own "Easter Parade." So today, we're presenting a few of our favorite Easter hats from previous posts.

The tutorials on how we made the wide brimmed picture hats can be found by clicking here.

And there are other posts on how we made hats from existing elements which you might like by clicking here and also here. Enjoy.

      Best regards and wish you a healthy , peaceful Easter!

      Thank you, Olla. I have been lucky to have had the opportunity to attend events where women wore such elaborate hats. In France, in particular, there are amazing hat designers where the craft is considered an art! I don't wear hats anymore, but it is fun to dress the dolls in them for my own personal "Easter Parade!"

  3. The hats are lovely and so are the pictures! Is it a thing, wearing flamboyant hats for Easter?

    1. Thank you BlackKitty. These hats are, perhaps, deeply rooted in Anglo-Saxon culture, today more won at weddings or "concours d'elegance" events. However, wearing elaborate hats on Easter Sunday is an old American tradition, particularly at churches. This is also tied into the practice of wearing new apparel on Easter (signifying renewal. There was even a famous Easter parade outside of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City (which I attended once). Though the practice has largely disappeared (especially amongst young women), you can still find older women in their Easter hats at Black Baptist churches in the US.

    2. It seems like a weird tradition... but a good source of inspiration for doll fashions :)

  4. A little late, but sincere ... Happy Easter!
    Hats are small works of art, this item of clothing when you create where you can let your imagination ... certainly employing a traveler in your free time, I hope I create a work of art and for their dolls!

    1. Thank you, Pikulina. Hoping you had a really nice day yesterday. This is so true. Hats are a work of art. It's like decorating a cake. You start with a base and you can pile anything you want on top until your heart is content! I've also been fortunate enough to see the work of talented French and Japanese milliners. It is really unfortunate women seldom wear hats today. But...I can always continue the tradition via my dolls!!!

    1. Thank you Aya. (Sorry this response is so late. I'm not sure how I missed your comment.) Hats are always so much fun. In America, it's a tradition to wear big, fancy hats for Easter.
