Our first Derby.. Thank you again for designing
both of my wonderful hats!
 
Had a great time at the Derby this year, and loved the beautiful job
you and Jan did on my hat!  
 
 
 
   
I love my hat!  
   
   
 
I can not thank you enough for all of your help! My hat for the Derby was perfect!!!!! It made me feel special the moment I put it on. I received countless compliments on it and it fit so well that the wind was never a factor. I will be in touch for next year!
 
   
 
   
 


But I have to say the greatest compliment was people
stopping me to take photos of my hat! I loved it. I wore
it from CA to the derby and back and everyone loved it
even the airport TSA staffs!

Thank you so much for re-designing my
beautiful hat for the 2010 Kentucky
Derby.  I received numerous compliments
on the flattering style and my guests could
not believe how well it matched my outfit. 
The hat was not only beautiful but
environmentally friendly as well.

Sincerely,
 
Jane K. Beshear
First Lady of Kentucky

Had a blast! I'll be calling soon, I'm sure!



I thought you might want to see how beautiful the
hat you made looked with my wedding dress.  
Thank you so much for your help with the hat.






Polly, Thank you so much for my beautiful hat! I received so many compliments at the Derby. You and Jan were fabulous to work with……so friendly and outstanding customer service!

Thanks Again

Here's a picture of me in your spectacular Azure hat.
I got compliments on it all day long. I gave out your
website address many times!

I'm already anxious to work on my Derby attire
for next year.

Thank you so much for sharing your millinery skills
with the world.





Already thinking about next year's hat....and dress. Jan, I have to tell you....we walked in and literally, all the women turned around and stared...and then whispered. My hat, no doubt, was the classiest!!!




Hi Polly, here are the pictures from Oaks and Derby.
As you can see, your hats are the belle of the ball!


Had a wonderful first time experience at the Derby. My hat was a
great hit and I kept a firm hold on it as I step out to take in the
sights from our box so as not to lose my treasured new possession.

There were some wild ones there but I am biased to think mine
was more on the elegant side rather than over-the-top !...

Thank you again and whenever I hear of someone in need
of a great hat I will surely recommend you.


Here are 2 pics with my beautiful hats. I got SO many complements on them. ...

You do great work and I can't wait to see you next April!!!!


I wanted to thank you for the amazing hat!

I had numerous compliments on my beautiful Derby hat, and I told everyone
how great Polly Singer is. Not only is the hat amazing, the hat box is the best
I’ve ever seen. Of course, your customer service can’t be beat either.
Looking forward to doing business with you for many Derby days to come!!!



PERFECT!!! I love it! The feathers are absolutely what was needed. Thank you so much. I got so many compliments on it.

I am writing to thank you for your creative talent and amazing
selection, which made the event we attended so much special.
"Luna" hat was a masterpiece, exactly what my wife's desired
for her dress, I am taking the liberty to send you a couple of pics
of that day at the Dubai World Cup, on Mar 27, 2010.

Not only that, my wife and our friend were on the cover of a local
magazine in Dubai as two of the best dressed ladies. I am sending
you this picture as well.

Thank you again and looking forward to another amazing hat next year.

Well, your hat was a hit. 3 people connected the
hat with the movie “the duchess” without me
saying a word. I can’t tell you how happy &
special your hat made me feel.

Best regards…Thank you so much
Jennifer

 


I cannot tell you how many compliments I had on my
beautiful hat and I look forward to enjoying it for many
years in the future. Take care!

Love Love the hat!!!! It was so.. perfect
with my dress. I can not wait to find a
special one next year's Derby!

Sincerely, Kelly

 


My hat is exquisite!! Thank you so much for making
my derby experience unforgettable. You are
absolutely amazing!! Everything was perfect
(even the weather), but the hat put it over the
edge. :) Men and women complimented on it
using words such as, fabulous, flawless, amazing,
gorgeous, beautiful, one of a kind, amazing,
incredible, stunning, etc. I felt like a celebrity.
Thank you again and it was such a pleasure
getting to know you.

Just thought I'd send a photo of me in one of your hats.
I really love it. I let my daughter borrow it also to go to a
Kentucky Derby party in Texas this year. She had the best
looking hat at the party. You do a really nice job on the
hats. And you have such great  style. Thanks again.

Patty


Sorry we missed you at the Derby. Alice and I had
such a great time. The “Portrait of a Lady” hat
looked gorgeous on her.

Thanks for everything
Mike

 

The hat was HUGE hit! It won of course! Thanks for doing
such an awesome job:-)!

Sandra

 


I loved my hat. It was perfect with my suit and
I can't tell you how many compliments I received.
People were stopping me to tell me how good
looking my hat and suit were. I have never
been stopped so much and been complimented
so much in my life.

Thank you so much for making me so beautiful on Derby. 

Best,
Christina

   
 

 

 

Thank you so much for the gorgeous hat
you created for me. I cannot tell you
the incredible amount of compliments
I received. I look forward to my next
Polly Singer creation!

I just wanted to send you a quick
note to say thank you for such a
beautiful hat - it really made my
day! I received so many compliments on it -
 including one very special one from Chelsea Clinton. I had to send your contact
information to at least 5 ladies that
were with the group we met there
with Pepsi. I'm sure they will be
calling you for next year's Derby ...
I know I will be.

Thank you again and thank you also for the extra effort in making
sure that it arrived here in time for my trip - I really appreciate it.

Kathryn Blackwell, Derby 2008

We have been fortunate and blessed to work with amazing clients and customers. Here's what a few of them had to say about us:

Dear Polly,
Thank you so much for your hard work. You truly made Ms. Rose's life better! She was so thrilled when she saw her
hats, she had to try on each one & plan what to wear them with. It was such a wonderful show, we are proud to have worked with you for such a good cause!

Stunning! Stunning! Stunning! I absolutely love the first two hats I've received & am so looking forward to seeing
"Star's Ascot" when it arrives in the next day or two!

Hi!

Oh wow, thank you so much. I absolutely love both of these hats, and mine fits so perfectly! I will look good, and
be able to see people this year! I will send you pictures as soon as I have them, and I bet they will end up in the
Chicago Social magazine, so I will send a copy to you as soon as I have one! Thank you!

Polly,

I love my Run for the Roses! And my husband offered an unsolicited compliment when he saw it. That right there is testament to your talent!

I will wear it gladly and happily and will sing your praises!

Hi Polly,

My hat arrived yesterday and after working a 13 hour day in the office. I couldn't wait to get home and try it on.

I LOVE IT!!! I have a white dress with black trim and it just finishes the outfit perfectly. It's amazing how putting
on a hat just makes you smile, stand a little taller and puts a little prance in your step!!!

I will treasure it always as my "first derby hat!"

Pam

 

Hi Polly,

OH MY GOODNESS!!! The Derby was amazing!!! And thank goodness we had good weather :)

I just have to tell you that a young lady stopped me on Derby Day and asked me "Did Polly Singer make your
hat?" I couldn't believe it. I told her "Yes she did?" and she replied "I just love her hats and have had my eye on
that one - I just love it!"

We had a blast and I definitely want to go back!! I felt like a million bucks wearing your hat!!

The hat was perfect! I received so many compliments. It was a perfect match for the dress.

Many Thanks,

Many thanks, Polly ... my hat is gorgeous ... just what I had hoped for!

Sincerely,

THANK YOU!!! I LOVE MY HAT AND HAD A BLAST AT THE DERBY!

Polly, just wanted to let you know our hat made the courier journal photo parade. Thanks again for your great
work. I got tons of compliments on my hat!!

Jennifer

I just received my hat and I absolutely love it! It is even better than the pictures and it far surpasses anything
I could have imagined. It is stunning and elegant while still a lot of fun. It is definitely a standout. I am wearing
it in my office because I couldn't stand putting it back in the box and waiting the days until Derby. Thank you
so much for all of your time and patience, and please my thanks on to Jan as well. This is my new favorite!

Jennifer Keis

 

The hat is beautiful and I will sing your praises!!!

Alston


Caitlin received the hat this afternoon and loves it! Perfect! Thanks so much for everything!

Best wishes,
Kathy

 

Thank you so much, Polly. Choosing my hat was tough (you had the most beautiful selection of all the sites
I visited), but this has been one of the easiest, friendliest sales transactions I've ever experienced. It's nice
to know someone out there still gets customer service, and does it so well.

I've very excited to get my hat, and I'll definitely send you photos. Since we are hosting our inaugural derby
party, I'm sure I'll be ordering again and referring others to you. The hat selection has already been a hit
with the ladies attending!

It's been a pleasure!!

Kind regards,
Elizabeth


Polly, it is beautiful!!!!! I can't wait to award your hat again this year. I will definitely get some pics for you!
Thank you so much! What a wonderfully generous donation to receive! Thank you for helping authenticate
our Derby party and for helping the children we serve!

Kelly

 

Hi Polly,

It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Thank You,
Jan


Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

I ended up ordering the Portrait of a Lady last night! I love both equally. I love the large brim hats -
so elegant and makes a statement!

I look forward to receiving the hat - I look forward to next years designs!

All the best
Jessica

 

My hat arrived yesterday afternoon. It's perfect! Thank you so much!

Received both hats today and couldn't be more pleased!! Looking forward to a long working relationship
with you!
