Moving on, my second hat! Another buckram, this one sized for a BJD. You can check it out on the doll, Jaden, here and here. It has a crown measurement of 24 cm (about 9.45 inches). The commissioner requested something along the lines of Tim Burton's Hatter's hat. It's not a replica, but it certainly has the same feel.
This is when I discovered that some hats really are just too small to wire! It is also before I got a better camera, soooo.... Sorry about the grainy photo! I suggest not pulling it up in full view, it doesn't really improve the view.
Making a hat that was wider at the top than at the bottom proved to be quite the challenge- I couldn't use my usual technique on it, so I had to improvise a bit. I rather like how it turned out, though!
