Hi everyone. I've been commenting in this community for a long time but I think this is my first time making a post...

I made a little hat based on the pattern in "Gothloli vol. 1". (the red book) Obviously my choice of fabric and decorations is different but it's basically the same hat.




The only change I made to the pattern was the size of the interfacing. The book says to make the interfacing the same size as the fabric pieces and sew through all the layers, but I wanted the corners on my hat to have a crisper look than the book's pictured hat so I cut the interfacing just inside the seam lines. The fabric is black rose-pattern jacquard. The blue ruffle was a pre-ruffled ribbon (double-sided) that I folded in half. It's not actually as sparkly IRL as when it's photographed with a flash... (>_<;) I added a strip of black braid to the brim, a little black rose, and 2 kinds of feathers.


I was going for a feeling similar to the Carina e Arlequin (at LaForet) hats I've seen recently. Their goth/loli hats and headdresses are much more extravagant than the usual styles, with details like braid along the edges, feathers, lace overlays, grommeted lace-up sections, and even little mice (yes, real dead ones) on some of the items. But as they start at 15,000 yen for a little circle headdress I thought perhaps I should try making my own hat. ^^

This is the hat being worn by me yesterday. In case anyone's interested in the rest of the outfit, the shirt and over-knee socks are from Moi-meme-Moitie, the corset skirt is from Excentrique, the shoes are Yosuke.

I want a dress of some kind but, I could never fit myself in one, I'm usually a couple of inches too big around the bust area & I can't afford the prices I've seen so far with shipping included... But I have a friend going to Tokio soon, so maybe that might change soon & I might own some more orginal stuff!

Of course, dahling. You crafted the thing perfectly; it shocks me that you are new at hat-making. This first product makes you look like a pro!

Is that you in your B&W icon? o.o

;_; Absolutely lovely! How long did it take you to make it? How much did you spend? (I'm going to sound really weird and stalkerish...) Do you model? You look like you could model for a EGL magazine! (I'll leave before I become too creepy...)

Wow! Your hat is great, very well done. I love your outfit! You have a very elegant sophisticated style. The corset skirt is really beautiful too.
*Sigh* makes me wish I lived in Japan and I owned some authentic clothing. All I have is some BSSB accessories, no clothes :(

That's the best homemade hat I've ever seen. *_* You were obviously a lot more careful cutting than I was when I made mine. ::laughs::

Did you make it with only fabric and interfacing, or is there cardboard or something for support?
