I originally wanted to buy some netted Pill Box Hats which is also featured in Wonderful Life the Hurts video
"A pillbox hat is a small women's hat in a simple, understated style. Pillbox hats were immensely popular from the 1930s through the 1960s, and they continue to be worn today by some women, in addition to styles which have diverged slightly from the traditional pillbox. Many hatstores carry pillbox hats in a variety of colours and styles".
Even after a week of trying to find a Pill Box hat I found that they were far to expensive to buy each one was retailing at £50-£200 and considering the fact I have 3 dancers there was no way I could keep in budget or afford to buy 3 hats just for a music video. I searched on ebay and gumtree to try and find one but they were equally just as expensive. I had a brainwave yesterday and remembered that they do slightly cheaper versions called fascinators head garnments. Because my rehearsal is today I needed something pretty fast. I went into a shop in saffron walden and found some retailing at £7 each which is a significant difference unfortunately they only had 2 of them so rather than have all 3 dancers in unison. Bought a little head piece which also looks like the fascinator.I wanted a fascinator because I thought they are a quite dramatic. The Hurts have used them and so has Duran Duran. So I wanted to make that link.
