September 24, 2013 • Comments Off on SPRING RACING NEWS – September 2013
I am just starting to put some of my S/S 2013-14 collection up on my website. My designs are all bespoke pieces, so you will never see your Christine Waring hat/headpiece on another person. I am happy to make up in other colours or with different trims, a design you may like in my collections but they will, of course, be slightly different in design and construction.
For enquires please email: waring@cbit.net.au or phone 0416623788 (m), (02)62489302. All my hats/headpieces come with a glossy hat box and instructions on the placement of your hat/headpiece and can be posted to
most places. More to come……………………

Very honoured to be part of this amazing exhibition on at the Canberra Museum and Gallery. I was commissioned to recreate headdresses worn to a club in Sydney c.1924 by Walter and Marion Burley Griffin. I only had one blurred black and white photo to work from. An exciting challenge.

WOW! What a fantastic week. Tutoring, parties, reconnecting with millinery friends, meeting new friends. A big THANK YOU to all who attended my workshops, it was lovely meeting you all. Some happy moments below and impressive creations made in my workshops!
SOME KIND WORDS………….”Just a quick note to thank you for THE BEST DAY ever at Hats Off. Your class was the second best day of my life – after my wedding day! I love the fact that the Knots & Twists technique gives you quick and dramatic results. I also really appreciated the personal attention you gave to each and everyone of us. I had a ball and love the 3 hats I came away with at the end of the highly productive day. Many, many thanks Natalie Codling”.
