Hat Lady

Cassandra MacGregor Hats

Sure, you’d sport a fedora this spring — if only you could be assured of looking more like Sienna Miller than Indiana Jones.

Milliner Cassandra “Cassie” MacGregor’s got you covered. After taking hat-making classes at FIT in New York and apprenticing with some pros, she launched The House of MacGregor.

MacGregor’s handmade headpieces are de rigueur in haute fashion circles from Proenza Schouler’s and Marc Jacobs’s runway shows to W magazine’s coveted cover. Thankfully, MacGregor moved to Dallas recently and is stocking a small selection of her couture creations — mini cocktail caps, cowboy hats, feather-spiked fedoras — around town.

Have a custom order in mind? No prob. She makes made-to-measure designs with a two-week turnaround.

Mother’s Day gift, anyone?
