I don't have any fabric containing a paisly pattern and the only plaid fabric I have is from one of my UFOs. Unfortunately I can not complete my UFO for this challenge because of various reasons.
The fabric is reserved for a 1878 Day Dress Basque, but it is quite much. So I took some scraps and reflected on what to do with it...
I then decided to make a new hatband for one of my Belle Epoque hats. The original black hat decoration is mounted on a flexible hatband to make a change possible easily.
This is what I did:
The plaid fabric is a synthetic taffeta I cut into ribbons in different width. The edges are not sewn, but frayed and the hatband I used was a leftover waistband from the mentioned 1878 Day Dress.
There is a bis bow and some loops at the front and a smaller bow at the back. I implemented an elastic strip underneath the back bow to make it easy to swap hat bands. On one side I then attached three white ostrich plumes.
