Thank you for taking the time to visit Helen's Hatbox and see what wonderful things I have to offer. All of the hats and bridal veils in Helen's Hatbox are hand made with love and care in my home . Do you ever wonder what the underside of a hat looks like? I do. That is why I always post a picture of the inside of the hat so a customer can see how my hats are lined and what kind of fasteners are there.
Most of my fascinator and hat linings are made with 100% Dupioni silk so that my customer has natural fabric against her head. Natural fabrics absorb moisture so you won't have "Fly Away hair" or "Hat Hair". Each hat has my makers label in it also. Each fascinator also has a hat elastic, headband (alice band) or a comb wrapped with ribbon in the couture tradition to secure it in place. I use as little glue as possible, also in the old millinery tradition.
All of my hats are hand stitched and hand decorated . All of my fascinators with bases comply with the dress code for the Royal Enclosure at Ascot My bridal veils are hand beaded and/or have the lace hand sewn and attached to large combs. Because of my care your beautiful veil will be secure on your big day.
Whether your hat need is to grace your head at a wedding, to glorify God at church, or just because you want something beautiful and exciting, Helen's Hatbox's fascinators, hats and veils will meet your needs. There are quite a few Millinery books and patterns at my house and I am constantly learning and exploring new techniques.
Be yourself! Be beautiful! , Be exciting! Get noticed in something from Helen's Hatbox. . My customers have always been very satisfied when they order a hat or veil from Helen's Hatbox.
Thank you for looking at the hats and veils from Helen's Hatbox. If you have any questions please ask. I will be glad to assist you in any way I can. If you see a hat base you like but would like different trim, please let me know. I will see what I can do. I hope that you will enjoy wearing hats and veils from Helen's Hatbox as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Again thank you for looking at my creations and God Bless,
Helen Marshall

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HELENS HAT BOX for that Special Hat you are Looking for :) From S. Moser

I offer a beautiful variety of vintage inspired hats for the modern woman. Each beautiful hat and veil are handmade with great care and detail by me.. I use as little glue as possible on each hat, choosing instead to hand stitch and decorate the hats for a more authentic quality look. My wedding veils are a more recent addition to my shop. Besides the traditional white and Ivory I have pink. blue and tan wedding hair accessories. Many of my veils come with matching hand made purses and shoe clips. Custom orders are always welcome. I will be glad to accommodate your wishes and make you a veil that is different from anybody else's and just perfect for you.
.Making hats has given me not only something to do but a way to express the creativity God has given me. Millinery in the 21st century may not be the most "conventional" thing to do, but then God made me very 'unconventional" and always wanting to step out in faith and try something new. In the past I have also been a Disaster Action Team responder for the American Red Cross and respond to health care needs with local and national disaster calls. As a retired RN, I work with people who have medical needs (medicines, medical equipment, glasses and dentures) as a result of the disaster.
If you are as concerned as I am about where and how your products are made I can assure you that all of the items I sell are made in Spring Texas and all of the supplies I use to make my hats and veils come from the USA, Canada and Europe. There should be no Fair Trade or cheap production issues with my products.
My ultimate goal is quality and perfection in each piece I make. My hats and veils come in a variety colors, styles designs that will be perfect for your next occasion. All of my fascinators comply with the dress code for the Royal Enclosure at Ascot and all of my combs are ribbon wrapped in the couture tradition.
-All hats and veils are made in a smoke and pet free home.
-All hats are ready to ship
- Questions? Feel free to contact me, I would love to help you. I have made custom veils and hats for four years. If you have an idea, lets work together and make your idea come to life.

Am a retired RN who can pretty much make something out of anything. I've always loved hats so I wanted to see if I could enhance the glamour of this world and make hats that other women would love.

jenna is a 3 year old Chocolate Lab/Border Collie/Terrier mix. When I go upstairs to work on my hats she lays down near me. I keep her away from the hats so there shouldn't be any dog dander on them.
