An absolute joy, Olivia is the lovely woman who inspired this amazing new creation at MAGGIE MAE DESIGNS^®. The curving brim and soft sculpted silk organza trims make the Olivia the perfect chapeau for weddings, teas, church, Kentucky Derby and just about any other special occasion. And I can hardly wait to create her in different colors!

Sophie -- Another chapeau that made her debut at last year's "Run for the Roses" to rave reviews! The Sophie is akin to the Chelsea but with the wispiest of tulle overlays extending over the brim edge that sets her apart. Reminiscent of days gone by yet with all the style and elegance that would be perfect for the Derby, a wedding or an elegant tea.

Sure to be found in the winner's circle at any of your summertime galas, Miss Scarlett will make every special dress-up occasion a memorable one. The kind dreams are made of...

Renee -- She couldn't have looked more stunning than if she'd just walked off the Red Carpet with cameras clicking and everyone wondering who she was. With all the elegance of Hollywood, this new "poofy" double brimmed creation offers a surprise tulle layer that peeks out between taffeta and silk. Definitely Oscar material...
