Do you have a wedding coming up and want headwear that’s a little different to compliment your outfit?

It’s always really touching when a lovely friend asks you to make her something special - Rhian wanted a headpiece to complement the bold floral print in her outfit for her daughter’s wedding, so I made her a bespoke headband of two-tone silk gardenias bringing together warm and cool pinks in the print.

Thank-you for putting your trust in me Rhian - you look absolutely stunning! 🌸🌺💗

The final hat order for Royal Ascot 2026 has departed from the studio as opens its doors to welcome its guests.
Wishing all of my clients a wonderful time and sending you a huge thank-you for all of your orders and support this season.

Later this week I’ll share photos of some of the fabulous handmade millinery that I created for this years event, but in the meantime let’s look back at some of the amazing women who who have rocked our designs over the last few years! You look stunning ladies! 🔥

‘Marriage of Figaro’ is currently on tour!

I had such a lovely time working on this stunning opera with an amazing designer!

The Costume Department and Wigs & Make-up team at Scottish Opera are inspiring, generous and joyful to work with - every one of them is an expert in their specialism - highly trained and using years of skill, knowledge and instinct to craft every top to toe look that appears on stage.
You guys rock! Xx

The degree shows are currently on in art colleges and universities across Scotland, and I wanted to take a moment to champion the talented students and graduates I work with in and

I teach part-time as a Teaching Fellow for and am their dedicated Accessories tutor!
With 31 a days a year in the Fashion department, and 11 days a year in the Performance Costume department, and working with 6 year groups - each day there is busy, varied, exciting, enjoyable and challenging.

I teach design and support the students to bring to fruition the fabulous bags, luggage, headwear, hats, body pieces, animal heads, masks and ‘wigs’ that complete each cohesive head-to-toe vision that we see in their shows. This work is the culmination of 4 years of hard work for them.

The first step on their journey is a research idea, concept or sketch, and then this develops and morphs into the most wonderful and diverse creations, hand crafted by the students themselves.

It is a privilege to nurture their talent and enthusiasm, and watch them grow in confidence and develop the new skills which will carry them through life and their future careers.

A huge well done to all of the graduates 👏 - I’m very proud of you all and look forward to seeing how your journey continues…

What a fabulous couple of days - starting with the Private View of some of the stunning costumes and props from the forthcoming and hotly anticipated Outlander auction at Bonhams.
Huge thanks to .matthews_bonhams for the invitation, and to for your fabulous company.
Then and I attended the fascinating panel discussion chaired by Rebecca Anthony. Thank-you to James Wylie from and Lyndsay McGill .l.christie_works_of_art for generously sharing your knowledge.

A few years ago I was asked to make hats and work ‘in house’ on Outlander - but being freelance running a busy millinery studio meant that sadly it wasn’t possible for me to do so.
However I have had the privilege of teaching all of the graduates who have worked on Outlander over the years. For many it was their first opportunity to work in the industry, and a valuable experience that forms the foundation on which they build their careers.

There will be a large exhibition of lots at Bonhams in London before the auction starts.
The auction will be held in London on the 5th August and online from 20th July - 6th August - see their feed and website for more details and grab yourself a little piece of history!
