FAQs
What is sinamay material?
Sinamay is a type of woven fabric made from the abaca plant, known for its stiffness, lightweight properties, and ability to hold shape, making it ideal for millinery.
How do I know if the size will fit me?
The headpiece measures approximately 32cm across and secures with a one-size-fits-all aliceband. While designed for broad compatibility, fit can vary based on individual head shape. It's best suited for those who typically wear one-size-fits-all headwear.
Can this headpiece be worn in light rain?
It is not recommended to wear the headpiece in wet conditions, as moisture can affect the shape and integrity of the sinamay material.
How should I clean the headpiece?
Only spot clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using any cleaning agents. Ensure it dries naturally away from heat.
What occasions is this headpiece suitable for?
This headpiece is ideal for formal events such as weddings, races, christenings, and elegant parties.
Does it come in other colours?
The Failsworth Millinery Sinamay Disc Headpiece is available in various colours, including Oyster, Fuchsia, Pink, White, Amalfi, Silver, and Opal, in addition to this Black version.
Troubleshooting
Headpiece feels unstable
Ensure the aliceband is positioned as far back as comfortably possible on your head, and try adjusting the angle of the disc for better balance.
Sinamay material appears creased
Gently steam the affected area from a distance (do not apply direct heat) and carefully reshape with your hands. Allow to air dry completely.
Colour transfer to clothing
While unlikely with quality sinamay, if you notice any colour transfer, ensure the headpiece is completely dry and avoid prolonged contact with light-coloured, damp fabrics.
Aliceband is uncomfortable
Try repositioning the headpiece slightly forward or backward on your head. For minor discomfort, a small piece of padding (like a thin fabric strip) can sometimes be added discreetly to the inside of the aliceband.
