atherleisureI made one of those black silk 18th century market bonnets in January and finally managed to take a picture of it.
It's from the pattern in The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Beauty, but I scaled it to 80% of the original size. It's all hand-sewn and made of silk taffeta flatlined with silk organza. The brim is stiffened with posterboard. I decided I wanted it to be plain so I didn't trim it with ribbons, either purchased or hemmed strips of fabric.
