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.

A fun, creative Saturday at Jasmine’s. Here they all are looking like they just popped out of a 1920’s film set.

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”.

always bringing her joy and fun to class. Thanks for sharing your
knowledge with us”. Semester 1, 2013.
