Would be Good to get the odds on fascinator and get a jackpot !! Though it does sound very much like a Horse’s Name “ fascinator” Its not.
Horse racing fashion
A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of millinery. The word originally referred to a fine, lacy head covering akin to a shawl and made from wool or lace. The term had fallen almost into disuse by the 1970s
Modern fascinators are commonly made with feathers, flowers and/or beads. They attach to the hair by a comb, headband or clip. They are particularly popular at premium horse-racing events, such as the Grand National and the Melbourne Cup.
Hair Fascinators, Fascinator Hats and Headpieces
Feather fascinators and headpieces are very popular for parties and racing carnivals, such as Melbourne Cup and Ascot.
Brides may choose to wear them as an alternative to a bridal veil or hat, particularly if their gowns are non-traditional.Fascinators are best attached with a hat pin; however, many contemporary designs feature clips and combs. They are available pre-made (and may be quite expensive if sold by established millinery designers) but are also quite easy and cost-effective to make at home. They are also sold in kit form.
