Doc-daughter  is now well and truly engaged [with a rock the size of the ruddy moon]
I am now having to fend off her attempts to tell me what to wear, so I've been a-browsing.  Just found it, and ordered it from the USA [hope I don't get hit with bloody customs again]
What do you think?

I've got lots of lovely silk chiffons bookmarked on eBay and Stone Fabrics, and have been pondering hats

previous contender was this one, but now fades into insignificance
fabrics are still in the running though
C'est moi!

Yes I like it.  0_0

The spiky feathered hat GAH29 would go well with the points around the hemline.

For a fleeting (and confusing) moment I thought you were saying that you'd ordered a dress from the USA.   -<

I love the pattern.  I don't think I can see you in shell pink  ;) but I see that's not what's on your mind.  And all of the hats are wonderful.

Very nice!

blue, blue/green, blue/grey or a floral print.  No pastels.  Maybe lilacy shades or greeny shades.  Have seen some STUNNING silk chiffons...some of which would make her have a heart attack

I really love all of those.   :loveit:

The bottom right one probably has the edge for me, but it's marginal.  I think both of the ones on the right would look great with your hair colour.

Good pattern - are you going for the longer version?  although I do like the spikey points on the shorter one. I like the black and white in your last post.

Love the pattern. And those are PROPER hats!

Beautiful! I like the longer version in any of those fabrics.

@DementedFairy: the pattern is very you.  Love the spikey hat and know you will do your hair PROPERLY ;)  Any of those fabrics would work for you, but I love the big florals of the first 'swatch'.

The pattern is gorgeous, and I love the black and white floral fabric.  I love the trend for wide brimmed hats, I had a cost-a-fortune fascinator thing for DD's wedding, wore it for the photos, then it was off!

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

How exciting.

The dress looks fabulous, and your choice of fabric & hat will be perfect, you don't need my input on that. What will the Missus wear???

also congrats to the bride to be.  :toast:

I must be alone in that I'm not a fan of the spiky feather hat :( All the others are gorgeous but that one looks to me like a war bonnet gone wrong.
Nope! Looks like shrapnel.
I prefer GAH57.
I also like the blue and white fabric but it depends on when the wedding is. That screams Spring to me.

I too like GAH57 the best, but can see DF in GAH29.

Love the pattern and the blue bottom right fabric. Any of those hats are to die for! You planning to wear the dress with boots?

I can see you in that dress, either length. Also most of those fabrics. What colors has the bride to be selected for florals, bridesmaids, table coverings, etc? I think it's lovely when the Mom's wear garments that play well with those. Not blend in but compliment or contrast, rather than clash. Looks more like some thoughts been put into it that way.
