JANUARY 2022 - Well we have not shaken off COVID_19 virus but are learning to live with it around us. Last year did in fact provide a few more opportunities to wear hats when restrictions were removed and weddings and the Races could take place again. All those postponed weddings meant a few more bespoke hats and a few last minute hat hires! Looking forward to what 2022 brings.
JANUARY 2021 - YES the start of a NEW YEAR. COVID _19 is still with us but through a long tunnel and end is within site, hopefully before the end of this year. The need for wedding hats and races headpieces has been almost non-existent during this year but Marion has continued designing and creating headpieces. Added to this the 2nd and 3rd half day teaching sessions were completed via Zoom. An excited student is currently finishing her trims for her very first piece of millinery.
Below are pictures of 2 bespoke pieces completed in 2020 and a vibrant blue button hat which has been added to the Ready to Wear collection available for purchase via the Contact Us button.

Please read a few words from previous customers.....
From TS.......
“Hi Marion,
.......................................my wonderful hat piece with my outfit. Thank you again.
You made me feel so welcome and relaxed when we first met and your skills at hat making were obvious when I looked through your books and I instantly knew I had come to the right person.
Your patience and understanding of what I wanted was invaluable when helping me to make the right decision about the final head piece.
I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone who needed a hat or an alteration.
Kind Regards
T S “
From AB.......
"Have a look at the gorgeous hat I wore for my wedding at Gants Mill last May. I loved it to bits. I bought my dress then took it to Marion Lowe who made this hat in the same colours. Please tell the ladies in your family about her, so they don't have to put up with any old shop hat. Marion lives in Castle Cary and makes all sorts of stunning hats, as well as dinky little ones like mine. I felt a million dollars in it."
From JP…….”Thank you Marion. Xxxxx and I are delighted with the hat. It really is stunning. I am more than happy to pass on your details.”
From CL…….”We had a wonderful day, full of love and happiness. ……. many people congratulated me on my hat and I felt comfortable in it throughout the day. I will certainly recommend you to friends in the area”.
From J…….”Now to some feedback on the hat. I thought it was stunning, but others shared my opinion. My husband told me I was the best dressed and most beautiful woman there and that the hat made the outfit. My daughter in law (the bride) said the same thing. My stepson (the groom), who had specifically asked me to wear a hat, said it looked gorgeous.
From CP......“It's just amazing thank you again”
........ and "However, the photographer (a woman), who not only took the formal photos, but also mingled taking informal ones, came up to me and said:- "I must have a photograph of you. You're the best dressed guest here and your hat is to die for".
…………. the outfit was lovely, but the hat certainly made it and was the crowning glory.
Warm thanks from a customer FD...."Anyway thank you once again for my lovely hatinator that you so lovingly made for me."
