Helen Addis MBE Hat Commission – Bespoke Occasion Hat

This elegant bespoke hat was designed especially for Helen Addis to wear when receiving her MBE. The brief was to create a piece that was classic, comfortable, and fun—perfectly suited to such a prestigious and memorable occasion.

Working closely with Helen, I designed a timeless hat that complemented her personal style while ensuring she felt comfortable throughout a day filled with celebrations. The finished piece combined elegant craftsmanship with a touch of personality, creating a look that was both sophisticated and joyful.

I was delighted to see Helen wear the hat throughout her investiture day and into the evening as she celebrated receiving her Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). Knowing that a client feels confident and comfortable in a bespoke design from morning to night is one of the greatest compliments a milliner can receive.

Creating custom hats for investitures, royal garden parties, weddings, race days, and other special occasions is always a privilege, and this commission for Helen Addis was particularly special.

For bespoke orders please contact us. This piece can be recreated in any colour.
