I hat a vintage florentine hat body from the 50s, but for a long time no concept, how to style it. Until I found this piece of antique straw trimming. It´s in a delicate condition and a bit damaged, but I decided to use it anyway for it´s beauty . It was a bit tricky working with it, but I succeeded!

Finally I got  a cartwheel in a somehow 30s style.

The hat crown is hand shaped and I thought, some vintage japanese velvet leaves and milllinery flowers could be a good match.
