We were attending our youngest son's wedding and my wife has only ever worn sunhats in the past she actually hates wearing any hat! As it happened, the bride and groom insisted on some formalities.
We were told about Felicity's by the bride's mother and I was taken along (under protest) to help with the choice.
In the event, I quite enjoyed the experience as the service we got was excellent. I am presuming that it is Felicity who served us, as I have only seen the one woman in there. She was wonderful and spent a long time selecting lots of possibilities, based on the clothing to be worn and my wife's hair colouring.
I was asked my opinion, and listened to, even though she didn't know I spent twenty years as a fine arts teacher and actually do have some idea of aesthetics.
In the end we agreed on a hat which really did suit, painlessly paid for it and departed with the hat carefully wrapped and in an impressive hat-box. On return, I was given a receipt to say that it had been returned in good condition and the lady was genuinely interested in how the wedding had gone.
All-in-all, I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing a beautiful hat whatever the occasion; there are a surprising variety of styles and colours, as well as other accessories available in a relatively tiny shop. read more
