Hey Carena. It was made from sinamay. It's the cream and black lace percher... if you scroll down my photos you'll see it. I didn't find the comb slid in very well and no matter how much I tried to widen the headband, it kept digging into the sides of my head. I'm pretty sure I used the right gauge of wire too :(

Hi Silpa, What did you use to make the percher? If you use leather or heavy leather flowers it can add weight to the head when wearing. I made a couple from sinamay and used sinamay leaves and a braid covered quill. The percher was very comfy to wear. Do you have photos of the ones you made?

I've done the course on perchers as well... I made a disc hat with the percher headband which I wore to the races and I have to say (unfortunately), it was super uncomfortable. I tried loosening it off/widening it every time I went to the ladies but after a few hours, I was looking forward to taking it off. I'm experimenting with using a sturdy headband and extending it out. I'm glad I had this experience though as I would hate to end up selling it and the customer having a similar experience.…

I have added elastic to some of the perchers if there were a little bit heavier with the trim. I just wanted to make it look nice and neat.

Yes I am wondering why elastic would be needed unless it is being added to the bottom of the headband? I have never done this myself......

<p>I paint the headband (to match the client's hair) as well, and I find that the headbands Rebecca taught to go with the percher, don't need elastic.</p>

I am unsure why you would cover the headband but when I do I use very fine braid or ribbon. Some milliners use fine tubing. I usually just paint the whole thing. The circle behind the percher which sits on the forehead is backed with velvet stretch ribbon for comfort. I stitch the ends of elastic at least 7-8 times and I don't use knots where you could see them.
