I sewed a sheer magenta and gold striped Indian chiffon scarf to the back of the hat, and passed it under my chin and pined it to the opposite temple. Big benefit...my neck is veiled and the chiffon lightly drapes across the top of my bosom... oo la la

That's really creative!! I'd really like to see your Persian costume when you're finished designing it. Sounds like you're a pro!!
