Where do you get the galvanised wire? ❤

Did you make the base on these? If so is there a tutorial on them?

Never worked with buckram before and I would like to make a half hat fascinator and I'm not finding a base one. Can I make the base out of this? Can you put the buckram in water and let it sit to get hard?

I heard that nothing interesting ever happens to a person wearing brown !

Polo neck and tweed suit is a must

nah - life's too SHORT - wear what the hell you like.

Love your honesty and your hat ❤

Hello again Ilona. Well it’s over a year since you preserved the leaves and I’m curious to learn whether they are still supple and leathery?

Hello again Ilona - I was curious as to whether the leaves are still intact and still feel ‘leathery’?

I would love to know how to make that block

Thank you will try some day just learning

Might be my perception, but it looks like the older the wearer, the bolder and more creative the hat. With age comes confidence. 😊

The Cream outfit and matching hat for Charles and Camilla's Church Blessing Stunning and the Wattle Brooch.. Perfect!! I Know this is about The Queens hats...and you mention Camilla's gold and diamond feather Phillip Tracy fascinator BUT The cream outfit and hat ( The wedding outfit) that Camilla wore for the Town Hall ...Was superb... It was the first time we'd seen Camilla dressed formally with a Hat...She scrubbed up well!! Camilla has worn some knock Out Hats...

I noticed an organ in the background.

The huge veil you modeled is just too large and boxy in my estimation, but i do love a small veil. In my estimation, The light yellow halo hat with the flowers worn to Prince Louie’s baptism is my favorite of all.

Yawn

Love the hat and I really impressed by the mechanics and that they are all invisible. I wonder if instead of scattering the embellishments they were spaced slightly more symmetrical . I think it might have drawn more attention to the unique shape. Just a thought

Love this hat!

I’m sorry, Ilona, the separate pieces of your outfit were pretty on their own, but the brown hat with the black dress is not attractive at all.

If the color of the pansies coordinated with the colors of the small flowers in her dress, the outfit would have been stunning. The pansies simply didn’t match.

Queen Anne’s vintage suit, looked just what is is, OLD. Her blue hat did not match the blue of the hat. That was a MISS, in my view.

Zara’s navy dress and green hat would have worked had she had a green bag x d green shoes. Her outfit looked just thrown together.

In my estimation. Queen Camilla’s black and white hat would have coordinated with her dress if she had worn a black broach on her dress.

Ilona, you look just darling in your striped dress, love your style hat , but not that banana. You are too much s lady for that banana.

Samantha Cameron’s hat color doesn’t match her floral dress at all. In my estimation, Princess Eugenia’s gold halo headpiece does not coordinate to her dress. Not a winner in my book.

Samantha Cameron’s hat color doesn’t match her floral dress at all.

Pls how can I get the flower tools

Hi, Ilona! Could you please let me know, which type of medium-weight Buckram do you use for this project: "no Adhesive" or "Adhesive on 2 sides"? Thank you in advance!

Also what about the ugliest hats?

I am sure you are sick of hearing it! I adore Diane, Princess of Wales wonderful hats. Also the hats worn at Harry Nd Meghan wedding ?

I hate forest green because of Catholic school girl plaid! I love black tights because I have heavy unattractive (but strong) legs! So black tights make me feel as if they disappear! So I get it!!

Like your auburn hair!!! Perfect brows too!

Also if her clothes were tailored to her she would get less criticism. Also I feel the heat color for her is any sort of blue!

Notice you like I love Stephen Jones. The boater is my favorite hat of all time!

Hello, how are you? I loved your video, it is true that I measure my body measurements 100 times because I always believe that they have been taken incorrectly when I compare them with a table of measurements, the horizontal measurements are more or less but the vertical measurements are very very different, the problem is that I'm 156 and the rage woman is possibly 168... I don't know if that would be too much of an indiscretion, please feel free to answer, what is your height? that will help me confirm the difference in sizes. Very many Thank you for your excellent work. (sorry, I don't speak English, this is an automatic translation)

Use a travel steamer to remove wrinkles.

For the hat; Andy/Andrea//Emily or even Hathaway. Its shape reminds me of one hats worn by Anne Hathaway in the Devill Wears Prada.

She is NOT a duchess anymore

You are so funny when it comes to measurement taking

Greeting from peru. Excellent video

How wonderful! Congratulations!

What is your accent? I’m lost…

I'm 80+ years old. I've seen thousands of hats. And I can in all honesty say, Princess Beatrice hat is undoubtedly the most gaudy, ugliest hat I've ever seen.

Looks lovely, but the V cut is little be low

My favorite look was HRH The Princess of Wales wearing the black Catherine Walker dress with the black Philip Treacy hat for Prince Philip's funeral. She looked gorgeous!

I dont think M should wear back or navy hats. They blend into her hair too much

Love all your hats Ilona. ❤Wish wearing hats like that in the US was more of a thing.Thanks for sharing. Love watching ya!

All the best
