Some friends and I went off to a Burlesque night and I felt I needed to look the part, so a co-ordinated hat was definitely on the cards. I borrowed my friend Tami's stunning under bust silk paisley print corset. I made a small tear drop fascinator with little pin wheel pleats to fan out the top giving the hat some height. I embroidered some co-ordinating paisley motifs on the hat to link in the two.
My very talented friend Jade Patterson did my hair for me and another friend happened to have a camera handy for when we were getting ready, though sadly no good photos of my final look.
It was a really fun evening and not like anywhere I'd been before. I loved seeing other peoples outfits and saw some amazing headwear including a very impressive Cleopatra's headdress. I really enjoyed seeing the acts the most, with fire eating, burlesque and some pole dancing (I did not participate in that skirt!).
