And a really old one, too! The early victorian bonnet I started in february last year is finally done!
At that time I made the buckram frame and the mulling. I stopped there, because I wasn't satisfied with it. So last month I removed the old mulling and did a new one. When I went fabric shopping for my Regency Bonnet I bought enough silk taffeta to cover the victorian bonnet as well.
The edges are trimmed with gathered taffeta ribbon.
I used the same ribbon to trim the bonnet both inside and outside.
The pattern is Lynn McMasters L32 "Early victorian Bonnet"
Without further ado:

The ribbon roses cover the stitching fom sewing on the outside trimmings |
Be warned: this was not the last post on headwear...
Holy cow, it looks amazing! When I saw the first photo at the top I thought it was an original piece for your inspiration!
