Hello & welcome to my esty store!
My name is Kim Brown-Dye & I am a sometimes costumier & full time milliner.
All of my hatties are a theatrical in nature, a bit bold & a whole lot of fun! I build each one from scratch using buckram & wire construction which is then covered & trimmed using the finest materials & hand finishing.
OLDE school all the way & custom made to fit you!
