Hm. Grace Kelly wedding hat: yes or no?

Why I am drawn to it: because I know that 50s-style headband hat looks good on me. I actually own one. I have no idea where it is, though, and it's probably gotten lost in one of the many moves since I bought it, back in Denver, at an antique store for $5. I was shopping with Mom, picked it up and made fun of it, tried it on, and was abashed as it actually worked. :)

Cons: when I last tried that hat on, I had long curly hair. And now I have short, straight hair. (Wonder if I can find a cheapo version of that style somewhere to try on?)

Heck, if I saw me in it, I'd know if it could work. But that would require $300 first, hence the problem. :)

I found a site online with hatmaking supplies willing to sell me and ship me a buckram headband hat frame without outrageous minimum-order requirements, so there should be one on its way to me that I can plop on my head and evaluate, though.
