The Finishing Touch

This hat is a structured red felt mini top hat with a polished, couture feel—perfect for a Kentucky Derby–style look.

• Shape: A tall, cylindrical crown with a gently curved, narrow brim—giving it a refined top-hat silhouette rather than a wide Derby brim.
• Material: Smooth, rich red felt that looks firm and luxurious.
• Trim: A delicate black net veil wraps around the crown and drapes forward, softening the structure and adding vintage elegance.
• Embellishments: Small red rosette flowers are placed along the band, adding a romantic, handcrafted detail.
• Veil accents: Subtle bead or crystal-like dots on the netting catch the light, creating a touch of sparkle without overpowering the design.  

Overall, the hat feels classic, feminine, and sophisticated, blending old-world glamour with modern Derby fashion. It makes a confident statement while still feeling refined and tasteful.
