How to Commission a Hat

Please phone or email Millinery Matters to arrange an initial consultation. Your ideas and requirements can be discussed fully. You can try on shapes to assess the best design for you and chose the sort of materials you would like for your hat or headpiece.

When you are happy with your choice and the cost is agreed, work on the hat can begin. At this point a deposit will be requested.

A second meeting will take place to check that the basic hat structure is comfortable and fits you well. Also you will make the final decisions on the trim for the hat. If required, changes can be made at this stage.

The final meeting to try on and take away your finished Millinery Matters creation.

Annie works with you, throughout - from the initial design ideas to the final fitting and the whole process is entirely flexible to best meet your needs.

Several weeks are normally needed to create your hat, Ideally 3-4 weeks notice is preferred especially at busy times of year. However, if a hat or headpiece is required at short notice, it may be possible, call to check.

Normally consultations and fittings will take place in Annie's workroom but she is able to offer consultations in the client's home within a reasonable distance of Leicester.
