lifted millinery is created to be of the highest quality
Headwear is hand blocked and hand shaped.
Using time honored blocking methods, and an ever expanding knowledge of new and innovative techniques, Lifted headwear is shaped by hand in the studio. This ensures proper attention to the fit and finish of every piece.
Specialty trimmings are created by hand.
Whether it be flowers or feather mounts, butterflies or bows, custom trimmings can be created from a wide variety of materials. This is a wonderful way to incorporate a matching dress fabric or color coordinate for a cohesive ensemble.
All headwear is hand stitched.
A hallmark of quality millinery is that the hat is assembled and trims are attached by stitching the components in place rather than gluing them. Why is this important? If a hat is constructed using adhesives they can break down over time, discolor, and make the hat difficult to re-trim in the future. Fine millinery is a long term investment and should be able to last and be transformed as your style changes.
