"Prima Donna" Turban

Inspired by the perfect vintage chiffon hair scarf! This is my take on one of my favorite hair accessories, made warm and fluffy for the colder weather, with a really fun and unique construction. The Prima Donna Turban - titled after the Dion song, because it’s just the most glam way to keep your head warm!
