One of the surprises that I came across in my business was that ladies purchase hats for Mardi Gras events. In Mobile, this is a big event on the social calendar. Pictured above is my client on the far left in the pink hat.
Being from Kentucky, I knew very little about Mardi Gras. Apparently, Mobile’s Mardi Gras celebrations started in 1703 and is the oldest carnival in the United States. There are many different societies and groups that take part.
Last year, I had the privilege of designing hats for 2 sisters participating in Mobile’s Mardi Gras event. Both Amy and Emily were a delight to work with. Emily wore the High Tea hat. Amy wanted an all ivory version of Absolutely Elegant. Her idea turned out well and become Amy, which is now on the website.
Fat Tuesday is March 8th this year.
Wouldn't you know I was drawn immediately to the lady in pink before having any clue that you designed her hat. :)…She looks smashing as do they all but the pink is really spectacular on her with her coloring.
Lovely!
Christy,
Thanks for the tip. Going to Alabama would be most welcome at this point! I will contact them. Many thanks!
