Madame Modiste

Elegant hats for the dark romantic

Madame and dear reader,


Madame Modiste, after receiving so many requests for her handmade hats, is now offering her one of a kind creations to you.  Presenting for your consideration, a selection of feminine mini top hats .

These hats are a smaller version of the classic ladies’ Victorian riding hat. They do not fit the actual head size, but perch atop the head.  Therefore, no sizing is needed!  One size fits all.  Ribbon ties or hair combs secure the hats to the head and withstand an evening of dancing the night away.

An important announcement to the elegant ladies wishing for a hat from Madame Modiste

I will no longer be able to take custom orders except during Summer breaks.

At the great age of 35, I am going back to college to finally complete my degree!  Sadly, this means that my ability to produce hats immediately upon order cannot continue for the time being. 

Thank you all for your kind compliments, and I hope you still visit here to see my work in the future.
