"OMG—this hat is phenomenal! I can’t thank you enough for the record turn around time and the impeccable quality of the hat. It is absolutely perfect and completes the look sooo well! Your interpretation of my attire, the event, and our brand is completely translated in this magnificent piece. Thank you again and have an amazing weekend! Of course we will take pictures and share."
"I wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful fascinator you made for me for the Oaks. You nailed it and I got so many compliments. My absolute favorite part was the addition of my grand-mother's jewelry. It was such a treat for me and I am so very thankful."
"The best hats around...hands down! I have 2 Formé winter hats, two Formé Black Label hats, 5 Formé fascinators, and 2 Formé headbands! I love them all!!"
"I just arrived home after a 3 week trip to find my gorgeous hat waiting for me. I really love it! Now to find a dress to do it justice :). Thank you so much! I can't wait for the Derby Day :)"
"The Hat was an absolute sensation at the party I went to on Sunday. Everyone was coming up and complimenting it – both people I knew and people I didn’t know. I can safely say that it’s now one of my favorite hats, both the crafting and the color. Thank you so much."
"I have a collection of Formé hats...or should I say works of art. Whether you choose a ready to wear or a custom design it is clear Jenny has put her design signature on your choice. You can start with your occasion, your dress or your idea Jenny will bring it to life....Go to her showroom and have fun. You still wear your hat with confidence!!!"
"I purchased your hat at Arlington Million. At 67 years old I have been invisible for a number of years. That hat was like magic. Men stopped and turned to look at me. They opened doors for me. I had at least 20 men and women tell me they loved my hat. We went to a restaurant after the race and the owner came to our table and said "you make my restaurant look good". It was a wonderful day. I got so much attention and had more fun, all because of your hat."
"Omygosh Jenny, it is beauuuutiful! I love it!! It is perfect--better even than I had hoped. I can't wait to debut it in public. Thankyouthankyouthankyou for making my haute couture dreams come true!"
"Hello! I stopped in on October 2 for a super hat for a special wedding the next day - my son’s - and you had the perfect one which I saw, tried on, and immediately bought. I wanted you to know that it was wonderful with my unique dress that I had made for the event, the look was spectacular and the hat got raves!"
"This is a great shoppe. Beautiful, artistically done hats for both men and women. If you're looking for something for the Derby festivities or another special occasion don't miss this place."
