Bernadette Winter

Bernadette has always had a passion for dressing up and all things vintage! A love of old Hollywood movies and many an outing to National Trust properties as a child led her to a desire to create period hats for the stage and screen.

Whilst working on shows she encouraged a number of costume designers to use her hats/headresses and so her reputation grew. As a theatrical milliner (and under the name of Bunny Stokes), she has made for various shows including 'Pal Joey' Chichester Festival Theatre, 'My One and Only' Piccadilly Theatre, 'Semi Monde' Lyric Shaftsbury Avenue and 'Inphegia at Aulis' at the National Theatre. She has also created for Ballet and on film, you can view her work for Diane Kruger in 'Joyeux Noel.' Through her work in the business, Bernadette has also attracted a number of private clients - including singer/actress Issy van Randwyk and the late Dame Dorothy Tutin. She has been designing and creating Bridal accessories and occasion hats under the Tippi Galore brand names since 2005. Bernadette works from her studio by the sea in Dorset.
