Thank you for all your kind comments. With photos of such standard on here, (the outfits and the photography could easily be professional) it's a little intimidating to throw one's hat into the ring.
Please stop laughing. You know who you are.Yep, it's my own design/work, though the shrug is from a Simplicity pattern, and the main fabric was actually curtains initially.
Now emboldened, here's another photo, taken at the World museum, Liverpool last weekend. I like that hat. That's a cool hat.
[Any jokes along the lines of "who's the scary monster in the picture? Oh that's just Mary, the other is the animatronic dinosaur" will be hounded out for being too predictable.]
