Have you tried looking at Hat Linings and Labels in the Millinery Biz section on this site? JudithM's Millinery blog has instructions called 'How do you make that thing stay on your head? Hope this helps you find a solution to your quest. Evelyne

Yes I read through all that thank you. What I'm after is photos of wiring attachment, as I can't really see how to do it. On Cup day it looked like there were double wire headbands in hair colours, pointed down to a V shape above the ear, then hat elastic or something underneath, is this correct? The wire looked a but thicker to me. I'm also stuck on how to secure a large disc or square of sinamay or woven silk Abaca, as at the Cup it acted like a sail and wanted to take off in the wind. The piece could have done with some wire on top, but I was unsure how to do it. My friend kept adjusting her hat and it wasn't on properly for the fashion comp, skipping back on the head. Being taller than me, I didn't notice until we got off the stage. Sigh. Any pics would be helpful thanks.

Have a look at this website. There are lots of photos of the underside of hats. Just click on the hat, and it will bring up the photos. http://www.hatwoman.hk/shop/category.php?id_category=5 Hope this is what you were looking for. x

So if you want to attach a large teardrop disc to the front of a button base on an angle, what do you do besides sewing the piece together to stop them falling apart? If you add wire on top of the button or anchor support, where exactly.do you add it? I'm sure I'm not the only one trying.this new technique, trying to keep up with new designs?

Do you just use a heavy gauge wire to create a wire support and attach it to the headband that fits on the head? How do you connect the two headbands securely?
