1880's Bonnet

[atherleisure]

I finished trimming my bonnet last night so it's done. It's wired buckram covered with flannel and wool felt, lined with silk taffeta, bound with silk ribbon, trimmed with velvet ribbon and a feather spray. I think it turned out fairly nicely and with plenty of room for hair in the back. It will probably need to be pinned on, but that's reasonable.

Cute! I love the little cluster of red ribbon loops in the front!

Thanks. Let's hope it's not too much red for me.

It's really cute and will look perfect perched on top of your hair !

Thanks. It should have plenty of space for hair. I had to stick pins in the head to keep it from falling off. (Then I ended up with it pushed too far forward...)

Yep, hat never stay on styrofoam heads... unless they are too small. But with a bun underneath it works like magic !
