Saucer Hats are a popular millinery style as they suit all face shapes. Through mastering the flexibility and strength of the buntal straw, Master Milliner Louise Macdonald teaches you how she has innovated a technique to create saucer styles with out using traditional blocking methods. Louise instructs you in detail to give a perfect sinamay finish that your clients will admire.
Louise Macdonald has been making hats for well over 25 years and her signature style often features fluid hand sculpted straw trims and shapes creating unique adornments for the head.
Louise trained in London, UK as a theatrical milliner making hats for productions such as Pride and Prejudice and House Of Elliot. Since returning to Melbourne Australia in 1995 she began making fashion pieces and now her millinery year is dominated by the Melbourne Cup.
