I need a fascinator to go with my verity oyster dress.

I have to wear something in my hair and I can't do hats as have very fine hair.

I know they are suppose to be naff but so be it.

Please please someone help me find something.

You could check out etsy or folksy?

No joy there.

Just found one I like and its out of stock.

Its so difficult as can't get to the shops so buying online is a bit of a gamble but
not sure where else I can look.

They should be called abominators Wink. Why not get some pretty clips like this or this?

I have this hairclip to wear to a wedding on saturday..its down to £7 ...here

MinnieBloodBar · 17/10/2011 18:30

Gilly I'd call that a fascinator [unhelpful]

No helpful advice, but I like them too. And I love the verity dress and it would totally suit me but I have nowhere to wear it to never mind the money

Gillybobs · 17/10/2011 18:43

Its not like any fascinator Ive seen. Quite small in RL and discreet compared to fascinator Id say. Anyway, thought it was a nice subtle compromise as Im not a fan of the big curly wurly things on top of my bonce.

OhBuggerandArse · 17/10/2011 18:53

Nice, not naff things here: tramp millinery

perfumedlife · 17/10/2011 18:58

No one needs a fascinator Grin

HTH

perfumedlife · 17/10/2011 18:59

Those are lovely OhBuggerArse.

Northumberlandlass · 17/10/2011 19:00

I would say no, but then again I'm not particularly into fascinators. I am more of a tussled hair, with large flower clip type of girl. Smile

perfumedlife · 17/10/2011 19:01

Op, your dress is beautiful, but think about wearing a brighter clip/fascinator/shoes/bag or you will risk the grey/beige overkill and kind of disappear. Some purple or orange would really zing out the outfit.

monsoon have a gorgeous animal print fascinator/headband thing-its in the sale I think and bloody gorgeous!

FlabbyGleek · 17/10/2011 19:06

I like this one:

couture-headwear.hatsandfascinators.com/fascinator-headpieces/53

but the ones on the tramp link are lovely!

Gillybobs · 17/10/2011 19:09

I agree with perfumed, the Verity dress in oyster needs some oomph added by accessories. I bought leopard print/gold sandals and clutch to go with mine. Beige/cream accessories are a bit meh with it

SolarPrestigeAGammon · 18/10/2011 03:24

Gorgeous dress. Why don't you go with an over-the-top buttonhole flower (on your bag if it's going to spoil your dress) rather than those silly head things.

I agree that it needs to be oommph up a bit.
Ok I have gold shoes to go with the dress and have brought a gold/pale nude flower type clip thingy.

Have decided to do hair in a side bun casual look so hopefully it will look alright.

Just need a bag now and all sorted. Was thinking about a beaded type small bag.

Any ideas?
