This is not a fluff piece like many of my recent posts.   This is a public service announcement. Buyer Beware.   When you purchase a pre-tied bandana, hat or snood from the traveling sales people that go from colony to colony, consider where that piece has been before you try it on your head. Dozens of hot sweaty women have tried and discarded it. Bungalows and lice outbreaks?! Bed bugs? Last year one of our wholesale accounts told us she had all the pre-tied in a nice Rubbermaid bin and somehow some nice mice got in. She just dusted all the droppings and sold them!    Remember, our prices are as low as we can get them. We are the wholesaler:) These pieces come to you factory direct. They are NOT tried on by the multitudes. You may specify what size you wish. Your selections are then speedily shipped directly to your front door.   So stay on you patio chair and relax. You don't have to push and shove to get a good deal.   COMING SOON! An awesome new feature we are about to add. Custom appliqués. You will be able to add any style appliqué to any pretied or snood.

SLIP BANDS - WOW! What loaded words . At MillineryShop.net we have sold over 200 slip bands in two days with one of these daily Groupon style deals. We have had so many questions comparing one slip band verses the cotton version of the slip band - it's not that one band style is better then the other!!!!    It is different based on ones needs. For some women who are sensitive to different fabrics and they can only tolerate cotton on their skin, or perhaps a women who lives is California and its quite hot in climate- they would appreciate a cooler version made with a cotton side to be worn on their heads. The  summer version of the slip not is then a cooler version - simply because it's only 1/2 velvet as apposed to a two sided velvet band.   Another great feature is that we are able to offer this in THREE popular colors: Black, Chocolate Brown, and Champaign. And let's take it a step further- is every women's head the same size? LOL no way!! Even though the slip bands come with a  velcro back closure a good fit is a sure fit!! So we offer the bands in FOUR different sizes.   Small, Medium, Large. and  Extra Large.   By offering different styles, Colors, and sizes in the slip band -many women can enjoy it's quality of keeping their headwear on!   Slip Not Bands Link

Scarf De' Flower.... a comfortable choice of  headcovering for any woman.   Lightweight scarf with built in elastic. We have several colors in this print for you to choose.  WE MADE IT EASIER FOR YOU by putting in the elastic. No more folding twisting and trying to get the scarf on just right. With the pretied scarf - you just slid it on and your good for the day.    We have a great feature that we offer, that helps keep the scarf on. We can built into the scarf front edge- a small thin piece of velvet that we call a strip grip. The benefit of adding the strip grip is that the scarf will really stay in place. From the outside of the fabric you will not see the velvet secret.   The tails of the scarf can be tied in the back or you can just leave hanging down on the sides.   GREAT HOLIDAY gift idea...Scarf De'Flower   One size will really fit most head sizes. EVEN the large heads.      

  Another new item... Head liner.       This cotton HEAD LINER is so comfortable, I'm thrilled to introduce this item to you. Its actually two items built into one making this HEAD LINER a clever head piece. The edge of the head liner is connected with  our best seller the Slip-Not Head grip. (In case ytou forgot what ourstrip grip is - you can read about it here It's a  double sided crushed velvet band  that will stick like glue to you, yet extremely comfortable to wear. The ends of the velvet band have velcro so that you can close it to your comfort.   Some ladies will wear this HEAD LINER  under wigs, caps, pretied bandanas or any other headcovering. Either for warmth or health reasons. I have been told that it's a great sleeping cap. For ladies that are experiencing hair loss, wear it to sleep and don't worry about waking up to lose hairs all over the pillow case.

      We aim to please. You asked we answered.     Our wig grips have been flying off our shelves like Bubby's cheesecake on shavous. Some of our customers have mentioned to us that over the summer they don't wear their shietel as much as during the year. They  feel they are overdressed using a wig grip . When it is 90 degrees and it feels like 120 degrees, and your air condition went on vacation, every extra layer just hurts!    Based on this exact situation we designed the strip grip.   What is a Strip Grip? A strip grip is a 3/4”-1"  piece of velvet that is sewn into the band of the head covering of your choice. It is designed to eliminate the slipping and sliding that usually occurs. That's why we call it the SLIP GRIP! It is smooth, comfortable and not sweaty. It is completely invisible from the outside and so very comfortable.       This add on option is available on most of our pretied bandanas. The introductory price is just $3 this price will increase after shavous. Take advantage of the special introductory pricing.   Real story: I was given a pretied with a strip grip before I wrote this article. It is embarrassing how often I wear it. It is by far my most comfortable piece I own. I never have to readjust pull down and pull – you know exactly what I mean…      

To all our new and devoted customers- I would like to go over and  explain some of our products in the section called "hats and head coverings"   We will be understanding what the differences is -between the Tichel kerchief and Oversized pretieds. These two categories can be found in the shop by department - hats and head coverings  Tichel - Kerchief   What is a Tichel? Sometimes called a Kerchief as well.    A Tichel is a square scarf that  we  fold and make into a head scaf. I would say that your Bubby -most likely wore this style head covering in Europe, in the Shtetl. All married Jewish ladies covered their hair out of modesty and a sign that she is married. Fabric and texture have come a long way  in the Tichel world. We no longer tie the kerchief under our chin in the front. The Tichel is pretied with our soft elastic in the back. We offer sizes on the elastic so there is no need to tie. Another novelty is the Strip grip that is built into the front inner side to help keep your head wear from sliding around   Oversized pretieds   Now lets talk about the Oversized pretieds. This section  is different because its not a square scarf that we work with. We buy fabric on a roll and we cut the fabric into  headwear. The end results is pretty similar to the Tichel kerchief.  This too has a built in elastic for a pretied look. Some woman like the fabric feel and texture  better then a Tichel or vis versa. The strip grip  in also built into the Oversized pretieds     Both itmes - Tichel kerchief and the oversized pretied have options to build in a strip grip -This edge inner keeps your headwear from slipping and sliding.   What is a Strip Grip? A strip grip is a 3/4”-1"  piece of velvet that is sewn into the band of head covering of your choice. It is designed to eliminate the slipping and sliding that usually occurs. That’s why we call it the SLIP GRIP! It is smooth, comfortable and not sweaty. It is completely invisible from the outside and so very comfortable.   Click here to have a look at Tichel - kerchief , Oversized pretied

LADIES - LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD.......   While some people sleep at night, my mind runs full speed. Dreaming up new fun ways to wear head coverings. My newest thought was HEY why can't the customer order her choice scarf, tichel, kerchief in a few ways. The options are all up to you. You create your head scarf and we will prepare it in any of the 3 options offered. As of now we have several scarfs prepared in the 3 way option. If you see a scarf not yet offered in the 3 way option message us and we will see if we can prepare it in the style of your choice. O.K. I will start explaining what the 3 ways options are: #1 The newest option of all is that you can order your scarf as an open triangle and we can built into the front edge our famous STRIPE GRIP. ( The little piece of velvet built in will keep the scarf from slipping around.) Ladies are asking for self tying scarves. So now we can offer it to you:> #2 Order your scarf PRE TIED.  Easy to just slide on. No need for folding, centering, playing around with the scarf. Just slide on your PRE TIED. We do the work for you. Yes, you have the option to add a STRIP GRIP onto your pre tied. #3 The last idea we offer to you is the original square. Ordering the original square let's you have more versatile ways to use / wear the scarf. Wear the square scarf as an accessory around your neck, wrap the scarf around your purse handles. Perhaps try wearing it around your pony tail. Fold the square in half as a triangle and wear as a tichel. The different ways are endless... Ask yourself who can wear it better:>

One size fits all? I don't think so!   People's heads come in all kinds of great shapes and sizes. Some heads are round or oval then comes sizes large, small and medium Not to leave out the great brained people with the extra-large heads.    Next sizing issue to take into consideration is hair. You have the frizz mass, the lanky thin hair and then the no hair all.    All these different situations mean that one size fits all is just a headwear myth. One size fits most is more correct. Here at MillineryShop offer you options.    MillineryShop.net you can customize your pre-tied bandana that fits you. Choose from our sizing choices of small, average fit,  and Extra-large. You can even add a slip grip to it to further customize your selection.   We even have had requests from Europe to please make longer Snoods. So we listened and now you can customize and choose a longer length.   Our Chenille crochet have an adjustable toggle piece to make the Chenille tighter or loser. A new concept to the Chenille line.   If you need something special just ask us. We love making our customers happy and customizing something for you is our pleasure.    

Now that it's finally summer, I took a quick jaunt to the beach with my three kids. I had just finished readjusting my pretied bandana and was helping my three-year-old dig up her small neon-green Croc from the sand when I almost FLIPPED OUT!   About three feet away from me stood another religious lady at the beach in – I kid you not – a Shaitel. Yes! She apparently put on her fine, custom, $3,500 + wig to go to the beach?! Oxidize much?!   “You have got to be kidding me!” was my first reaction.   Then my not highly conditioned enough reflex of “different strokes for different folks” kicked in. I glanced again at the lady, pulled the two ends of my kerchief out of habit, glanced at the wig wearing lady again, and then stared out to sea, deliberately keeping my “new friend” and her Shaitel out of sight…. trying to behave…   Someone tapped me and I jumped! “Sorry!” I heard a timid voice break through my grumping. “I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to know where you got that pre-tied. Sorry!”   I lifted me kerchief-clad head and stared at – you guessed it – my wig clad “neighbor,” I restructured my grimace into a lopsided grin, clumsily got to my feet and stuttered, “Ooohhh! T- Th- That's okay! It-it-it's no pro-prob-problem. Reeeaally!   I quickly studied her appearance and came to three conclusions: She cared how she dressed, she knew how to dress, and she always looked great – from the sole of her shoe to the top of her hat – well shaitel!   “So, anyway, where did you get that pre-tied?” she prompted.   “I go to www.MillineryShop.net. See, I would never even think of going to the beach in a Shaitel, even if it was a cheaper one. It would get completely killed, besides that it's so uncomfortable… and.. oh! Yeah! This Millinery Shop is really great they like sell everything you need in the way of head-coverings, like everything. They've even got Shawls and Costume Jewlery. They have pre-tieds, bandannas, hair clips, kerchiefs, snoods, tichels… um mitpachot turbans and even hair clips and jelly bands… I mean they have everything! Um..” I was babbling and I knew it.    “They've go it all. Seriously! Check them out… they have something for every taste and need. They're even well-priced.”   “What's the name of the place again?” she asked. And I proceeded to give her the information. We talked for a few minutes more and then she turned and walked away, her wig winking in the sunlight. It's funny! Now it looked a drop more blondish, before I had been positive it was brown. “I guess my imaginations running wild again,” I mused as I reached up to pull the two ends of my pretied again… out of habit.
