Royal Ascot but huge head - headwear recommendations?

[BackToLondon]

I am invited to Royal Ascot next month and I will need a hat. The thing is I have a massive head (23 1/2 in) and I don't know what to get. Would you recommend a fascinator instead, would that be okay dress code wise?

Starting to freak out and I haven't started with the dress yet...

Dress code is 10cm solid base for fascinators in the royal enclosure, IIRC. Are you starting with the hat I would or does it need to match something you have already?

What sort of budget?

[BackToLondon]

I will buy a new outfit. No set budget, but don't want to spend £££ on the dress, I gained a lot of weight recently and I started to lose it.

love this
this too the base looks big enough but can't be sure
ooh
this looks decent for the price
OTT?
very sweet and ever so pretty
similar but a little more simple
this place is worth a good look

[MrsLettuce]

Shall stop. I love hats
