Fumbalinas
Carmen Miranda inspired Tropical OTT headdress
Priscilla Queen of the Desert inspired headdress made from vintage 50s and 60s RARE plastic flowers. ABSOLUTE showstopper of a piece using a mixture of plastic flowers and roses and foliage. The back of the headdress is also filled with flowers so can be worn the opposite way round if desired. Arranged on a stiffened felt base and elasticated with thin elastic which sits at the nape of the neck for stability and comfort.
