Twilight Rose
Roses in the last light of evening, just as the garden turns blue. An oval cocktail hat in blue sinamay woven through with pink, so the colour shifts as the light changes. Dusky silk roses gather at one side, with curls of the same sinamay and navy veiling drifting between them like the first shadows of night.
I stretch the sinamay over a hat block by hand and finish the edge with hand stitching. Then I sew on each rose and the veiling one by one in my studio in Bowral. Around 5 hours of work go into this hat.
Wear it with: navy or dusty pink to pull the whole look together, or ivory, soft grey or stone to let the hat take the lead. Worn on the right side, tilted forward over the right brow.
For spring racing, Oaks Day, the Melbourne Cup, weddings and evening events. Secured with a fine elastic.

Every MICHAETT hat — whether a fascinator or a casual everyday style — is crafted entirely by hand.
One of the hallmarks of my work is the use of invisible stitching — a technique that ensures perfectly smooth lines without any visible seams. The result is a hat with a clean, uninterrupted silhouette and a refined expression of hand-made precision.
Every MICHAETT hat is presented in our signature packaging, thoughtfully designed to reflect the craftsmanship and care behind each handcrafted piece.
Your hat is carefully wrapped in premium tissue paper and placed inside a signature MICHAETT hat box, ensuring it arrives beautifully presented and protected.
Whether you are purchasing a handcrafted race day hat, an elegant wedding headpiece or a timeless occasion hat, our complimentary packaging makes every order feel truly special—from the moment it arrives to the moment it becomes part of your story.
Because beautiful craftsmanship deserves a beautiful presentation.
