This collection of lace-up top hats comes from Etsy artian GypsyLadyHats, who's created a Mad Hatter-approved blend of Victorian corsetry and the vintage-nouveau ideals of the steampunk subculture.
Each of GypsyLadyHats' lace-up top hats is custom-made to size; the one above is made from iridescent gray taffeta, accented with black PVC tabs and silver studs. While this hat can clearly be worn year-round, it'd be perfect for any Victorian costume, steampunk costume or Mad Hatter costume.
