Thats so cute, you would have to have a whole outfit planned though or it might look a bit weird!

That's rather lovely, my mind is working overtime with all the things you could do with that!

Out of interest, has anyone seen any hats on sale in the UK similar to these ones? (scroll to the very bottom, and beware the infuriating pop-up thingy - it's a terrible site!) I've tried Google and eBay, but I'm not even sure what search term I should be using - 'sailor hat' brings up ones like the hat Lacey linked to, but I can't think what else they might be called?

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to add to the garrison cap debate! You can literally get them in any army surplus store, usually in navy, gray and khaki. You can also get proper sailor hats in most stores too definitely worth buying the real thing rather than a nasty fancy dress version, i bought a proper ex navy sailor hat for £6 so theyre not more expensive than a fancy dress alternative, probably less!

Thanks for that Charlotte there is a really old army surplus store round the corner from my house thats been there for well over 20 years I don't think the stock has changed since the war!

I love your art by the way Charlotte, beautiful.
