atherleisureI finished an 1880's bonnet back in...October, was it? I kept meaning to do my hair and take pictures but didn't. Today I finally dug out the styrofoam head and took pictures of the bonnet on it.
The pattern is the Penny Dreadfuls 1880's Peaked Bonnet Pattern (https://www.1886location.com/shop/1880s-Peaked-Bonnet-Pattern-p207317054). It's a very simple buckram and wire frame, mulled with cotton flannel, covered with silk/rayon satin, and decorated with velvet roses and leaves along with silk satin ribbon. It was a quick project and only took a few days to make. She has lots of good inspiration fashion plate images along with the pattern picture, which was really helpful for trimming.
And now I'm back down to two finished items that I haven't posted about yet. I intend to wear the 1940's dress to work one day this week so I'm hoping I'll manage to take pictures then.
