While looking through my closet I discovered that my Razzle-Dazzle Top Hat had been squished...
It isn't destroyed... but its not as perfect as I'd like it to be.
I have been toying around with the ideas of what Hat I'd buy if I were to go with a new hat... I already know I eventually want to purchase a derby but I want to make that purchase from a Special Hat Shop I like to visit in Gatlinburg, TN. However since I don't know when I m next Gatlinburg Visit will be I've been looking at other options for hats...
Due to this recent disaster I've done some searching online for other hats
The Top hat that currently have is a felt board like hat... I'm not quite sure how to describe what it is made out of. I added the Purple daisy and orange band for a splash of color. I already owned the Hat prior to Clowning and it seemed like a nice addition to the current look I was building.
I have been looking at a couple of styles on Miss Pricilla Mooseburgers website. However seeing a 40 dollar price tag on a hat makes me clench my wallet a little tighter.
While I like the look of small tophats I just don't think that they are the Style I would want for Razzle-Dazzle... I think it would look too small for my character since the rest of my clothes do fit properly.
Another Problem I've been having with my tophat is keeping it on ... Fitz mentioned several ways of affixing the hat to my wig but that was prior to the incident.
Another option I was looking at was the "Bowery Boy" style of hat.
I think it would fit better over my poofy yellow "Silly Boy" wig... and I really like the look. However I don't like the cost as much. I was curious... Does anyone happen to have or know of where I could get a pattern for this type of hat or something similar? I do have a very understanding, clown-loving grandmother that likes to sew (she made my Rainbow vest for me)
I'm not sure what color combinations to use... My current look consists of my Rainbow Vest, Green Pants, Yellow Converse with Lime Green Laces, Yellow Hair, and Constantly changing Solid Color Tshirts... Green, Red, Blue, Orange, Purple, etc. I'm not sure where to go colorwise for a Hat.
Any Help or advice is gladly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance.
