There is an antique silk top hat en route to me. From the auction-running branch of the Seattle Goodwill, which is kind of ridiculous, but hey! I nabbed a hat!
Once it arrives (and I've made sure there's no weirdness with the fit), then the decorating! There are lengths of vintage hat veiling currently soaking in a black dye bath right now, along with ostrich feathers. Hey, when you find a bundle of 7 perfect-condition, extra-large ostrich plumes at the thrift store, you buy them, no matter what color they are.
