<p>I like to make the fascinators so they can be worn on either side and still look quite good. However, when I can not do that, I favor it being worn to the right side. I find it easier for me to design with the decorations heavier on the left as I look at the model so therefore it is on her right side.</p>

<p>I think the only wrong place to wear a fascinator is like a miners lamp. ;) That also depends on the design. I used to wear mine on the left, this is a 'rule' I was taught at tafe and what felt also felt comfortable but have started to prefer the right of my head. </p>

<p>There is no "right" or "wrong" side - everything depends on the style of the headpiece and the shape of the wearer's face. All faces are asymmetrical: when I consult with clients we try it both ways at the design stage and it is immediately apparent which side is the "right" side.</p>

<p>I'm from South Africa, and most of my clients don't even know how to wear a basic hat. And for some reason they always put the trimming at the back.</p>

<p>I was told...not sure by whom, that if you have a side part you wear the fascinator on the side that has less hair..to balance out I suppose.</p>
<p>It does depend on the fascinator as well of course and the individual's tastes</p>

<p>If a customer likes it a certain way, that's fine with me. I made a all feather fascinator for a friend who went to Ireland for a wedding last April. She said she loved it when she put it on what I thought was backwards. If she likes it that way, she can wear it that way. She was absolutely thrilled with the fascinator so I'm thrilled too.</p>

<p>As a LHS wearer I have difficulty making a piece for the RHS- there seems to be something in my head that has a bias to LHS. One of stores I sell to asked me to make more on RHS. After a big RaceDay here on Gold Coast I viewed slideshow of happenings and counted how many on RHS =85%. So I must listen to consumer market for wholesale range.</p>
<p>I have to be honest and say I made the above Head piece for RHS but prefer the flow of it on LHS. What do you think??</p>

<p>It all boils down to customer service. What does the customer want? Like I said I make simple comfortable hats because not very many women especially women under 50 wear hats around here. I think that simple hats would be more appealing to the customer who hasn't worn a hat before. I LOVE some of the wonderful creations of Elsie and the others. Around here though, the simplier the better for younger women. I always wear a hat on Easter. Other times I've been known to make a dress and a hat…</p>

Around here though, the simplier the better for younger women. I always wear a hat on Easter. Other times I've been known to make a dress and a hat to go with it. In the summer in Dallas when it is incredibly hot even when you go to church at 9:30 in the morning, wearing hats isn't the most practical. My grandmother always wore a hat to church and I particularly remember a grey silk pillbox with seed pearls that she wore when she took me too church when I was 3 or 4. I'll keep wearing hats and maybe a woman under the age of 70 will ask about my hats.

<p>Yes Helen, we must make it easy for our customers...at the end of day they are wearing the hat and know what is most comfortable for them. I wear hats on RHS over my part as that is what I feel comfortable with. I have started to realize that in different parts of our world the hat designs are more moderate than here in Australia.

It is the Racing industry here that sets the pace & competitions on Race Day Fashions on the Field offer such huge prizes it has created huge interest on Innovation in Millinery. No hats worn at our church & few churches here wear hats - wish they did as it would lift sales!! Personally I prefer simplicity in trim but need the tilt or turn up to balance the width of my face.</p>
