Fascinator in Dublin

Mountaingrey · 15-04-2013 7:33pm #1

Hey ladies any advice where I could get a nice simple fascinator in Dublin city? It would be for a once off wear more than likely so I don't want to spend big bucks on it. I know you can get them in Debenhams but I feel every second lady would be wearing one from there so any other suggestions would be very welcome:) It's for a ladies day at races btw

I had to Google what that was and........ that's the most amazing name for a piece of fashion I could possibly imagine. Just a shame it doesn't live up to the expectation/curiosity of what the heck it might be.

They're great yokes! I rented one from a hat rental place in Lucan - I think it was called the Mad Hatter, dunno if it's still there but they had the best selection EVER of stuff to hire. Well worth a trip as long as you're not in Howth or somewhere!

ETA - I lied - they're called Hattitudes, don't seem to have a website, but they're brilliant.

Oh brilliant I'm near Lucan so that would do the trick, thank you. Also I'll be honest too I had to google what it was called to write this post I didn't want to say fancy hat type thing:)

Accessorize is worth a look. They usually have the hairband types that are simple looking and don't require any fancy hairdressing to keep them in!

Hickey's fabric shop usually have nice simple ones, not too expensive either

Any idea roughly how much it is to rent a hat from Hattitudes?

For simple and cheap Dunnes Stores, Claires Accessories and Marks and Spencers have nice ones. Risk of someone else having the same thing but if its a plain one I wouldn't worry. Accessorise have a 50% off sale on at the moment and they have some lovely hairband style ones. I was shopping for one last week and picked one up in there for €17.
