Welcome to Gaia! ::

That is a very intresting idea! I don't know if anyone does that. I am sure someone has tried, but the ordaments I think of are the little clip on birds. That would be adorable, but posibally too heavy so one might want to substitut the light weight one you see at craft stores.

Ha ha ha Thats exactly what i plan to do for this years AX (anime expo in LA)

It started with this awsome headdress i saw in a Diru video. Basically this girl had this slanted plate straw hat with flowers and stuff. So I plan on doing the same. Ill get a weve plate (its not hard to find if you know where to look) and those foam things and stick a bunch of my moms fake fowers lol (or not ha ha ha ill just by them downtown XD)

Then I started matching them with dresses. I designed my own loli dress based on classic lolita (i forgot the actual term too :<)
(ill remember everything once i post and go, "oh crabs!")

Im currently making two blouses and a skirt and a jumper skirt for my outfit. I already have matching boots too XDDD

Although, I realized that the hat im making is really important to add that extra UNIQUE in my outfit.

Anyhoo, I wish you a ton of luck on your hat <3 if you ever work on it <3
