The Melbourne

$225.00

The Melbourne ($225)

The Melbourne is a headpiece that is conceived as a fundamental accessory for the global thoroughbred global races.  Whether attending the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, the Ascot in thew United Kingdom, or the Melbourne Cup in Australia, the hats worn, primarily by the female attendees, are second, only to the thoroughbreds that run.

The Melbourne Cup, which is run on the first Tuesday in November since 1896. Is the most prominent thoroughbred race in New South Wales.  I have cruised twice to Australia from the United States in September.  Several of my hats left that ship and were bound for the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne.   

The ivory sloping crown is topped by a sheer patterned black lace maline. At the rear half of the crown are a cluster of black roses cropped on top and under the crown.  On either side of the crown, where the flowers end, begins the sweeping double layer of black horsehair or crinoline.  The silhouette is striking from any angle and the horsehair will complement your attire whether flipped up or down.   She who chooses the Melbourne must sample different angles to ensure your most flattering placement.

Clearly, one need not travel globally to a race, but this masterpiece will certainly stimulate a victory at any event, venue, or promenade.  Blocked, wired, stitched, trimmed, and presented by hand, to you!!
