Hatpins is a shop that specializes in hats, with fashions dating from the 19th century to the 21st. A small selection of earrings and pocket watches are there, as well as a small selection of Victorian inspired clothing.

You can even trade in your “get one” for a gift certificate of the same amount.

Halloween Sale Sign

50% off all Hallowe’en hats, the dress, and the boutonniere.

Also, the mobvend is priced REALLY low right now.

But only until midnight, SLT.

This was fun to make. I should create dresses more often.

The Agnes hat is available in about five or six different colours.

I confess this creeped me out a little bit while it was in creation.

For that added touch of elegance.

A happy pumpkin face hat! How happy! :3

From last year.

From last year, too.

As is this one.

And this one.

And this one. And that’s it for now!

Anyways! There’s a sale on at Hatpins in Caledon Glengarry; selected items are 40% off.

There’s also new releases – all hats – a new group gift, a few new 1L hats kicking around, and a vintage, semi-retired hat out for 5L, a seller from 2007.

The sale is on until Wednesday night, so hustle your bustle down there if you’re interested.

There’s also a new hat on the discount hat rack in the Haute Couture shop, one that would sell for L$300, and is currently at L$85.

Whee! Hat happiness.

Until midnight tonight, virtually everything in Hatpins is 50% off. As long as it’s in a vendor, it’s half of, new items included. Not to mention that the dresses had been permanently reduced by 100L, so an even better deal is to be had there!

So I decided to learn how to make dresses to accessorize my hats, and according to those who have bought them, the quality and attention to detail is as one would expect from Hatpins. That makes me happy, but a person can only judge for themself. Pictures are never as good as seeing the actual thing, but it’s close!

This dress is (currently) available in six colours: red, grey, plum, black, blue, and brown.

So far, this dress is only available in this one way, but there are plans to add more. This style seems to be quite popular.

Currently available in nine colours, I have no plans to expand this one.

Currently available in brown, lavender and green, each coloured dress is different from each other in the bodice’s design. There are plans to expand this one for more colours.

That’s it for dresses for now! Please visit the shop to see the group gift (a Carrie dress with a matching hat) and grab a 1L hat!

Thank you for reading  and looking.

The final preparations for the changes at Hatpins are underway. Blog post coming soon as Reghan adds dresses to accessorize her hats.
