I made this top hat for my costume crafts class in the spring semester. Mini top hats like these are very popular in the Japanese fashion style called Gothic Lolita. Originally, it was supposed to be a black hat with a white ribbon but I fell in love with this fabric and felt that white wouldn't complement it as much as the Hello Kitty pink does.
It's a buckram top hat covered with a diamond-embroidered, navy polyester fabric and a sheer Hello Kitty pink ribbon with white polka dots. To get the ribbon to be solid on the band, I laid a white satin ribbon under it. I am very pleased how it turned out. It's really cute!
These pictures make me realize how much I need a new Styrofoam head. :(
