      Thank you. :) I used original Victorian fashion plates to determine the basic shape and the decorations. It was fun. :)

      Thanks! Can’t wait to see her in it. It’s for the same lady I did the other Victorian project for, and the corset.

    If anyone wants to see how it was constructed, the full story was in Dress Diaries on LJ: It’s in three parts.

    The colour combo is really lovely – the hat it self is exquisite!! Makes you want to pop it on and head off to a dance with Mr Darcy!!! xx

      Thank you. :) More mid Victorian than Regency, but I know what you mean.

      Thank you. :) The lining took a while to work out, and at least two failed attempts! But I got there in the end, and am quite pleased with the way it came out.
