Fascinator Feathers – Which Type to Choose?
Creating a fascinator or hat is a wonderful process – from sketching out yourinitialdesign and choosing
colours to selecting the right materials and putting them all together for a beautiful look. Feathers are
one of the most classic options for adorning this kind of creation, yet they still holdtheir own today,
featuring in some of the most fashionable modern headwear and accessories.
The feather fascinator or hat has been in fashion for
centuries in the West, where milliners experimented with
hundreds of different species of bird feather to create
innovative and luxurious designs. In times gone by,
ostrich feathers and plumage from otherexotic birds
were popular for both their enchanting colours and
various textures.
Nowadays, there are still many varieties of feathers on
the market for making fascinators, although
environmental regulation has understandably limited the
number of species whose plumage can be
usedcommercially. Despite this, the large number of
beautiful dyes and expert millinery techniques mean that
a huge selection of fascinating feathers is still available
for use.
Large ostrich feathers are still the most used feather for
hat and fascinator creation. These are popular for being very voluminous in appearance and are often
dyed a multitude of differentcolours to match anyone’s uniquefascinatordesign. The extravagant style
and colours make them a great choice for bold and bright looks.
It is also possible to buy or create mini ostrich featherfascinators and hats. Also known as a mini prime,
the mini ostrich feather has the same texture as its much larger counterpart and is also available in an
array of colours. They are often used in large number as a trim, alone or in combination with other
feather types such as on a pheasant feather fascinator.
Duck feathers are perhaps less commonly used item but are still make for equally attractive pieces.
Theyare much appreciated for their natural iridescence which works very well when a large number of
feathers are worn on one fascinator. These can be used alone for a subtle, shimmering hat or to
contrast with other adornments such as rooster feathers or on a pheasant feather fascinator.
Pheasant feathers are considered some of the most show-stopping feathers on the market today, and
they are not only used on the classic pheasant feather fascinator or hat but also on numerous other
accessories such as handbags and also as single hair pieces. With a unique shape and markings, these
feathers look great coloured and left natural.

In addition to having a great natural look, pheasant feathers can also be styled into a number of
different shapes and designs. The burnt peasant feather makes for an edgy pheasant feather fascinator,
whereas the pheasant lady feather available from top millinery suppliers is perfect for creating a
pheasant feather fascinator with unrivalled elegance.
Rooster feathers and turkey feathers are also easily styled, making
them the perfect addition to hats andfascinators that are intended to
stand out from the crowd. Turkey feathers can be fashioned in arrow
shapes and rooster feathers turned to a dark burnt black, ideal for an
unusual and intriguing fascinator look.
Peacock feathers are a final mainstream choice of feather worth
mentioning. These are very distinctive worn naturally, with their
shimmering iridescence and bright natural colours second to none.
They are therefore most magnificent when worn naturally on a
fascinator designed to be the centre of attention in an outfit.
These feathers can be coloured, however, for fascinator and hat
designers who want to create more innovative headwear. Bleached
peacock feathers also make for an original and eye-catching look on any
hat or fascinator.From the striking pheasant feather fascinator to the captivating duck feather hat, there
are hundreds of feather choices fro the budding milliner. In all cases, be sure to choose feathers that
have the textures, physical qualities and colours that you need. In case of doubt, seek advice from an
experienced milliner on the right fascinator feather to complement your unique design.
