Embellishment challenge update-1880's hat finished
Ah...that's better.
And the details:
The Challenge: 4 - Embellishment
Fabric: 100% silk dupioni, Plaid
Pattern: NA
Year: 1883-85-ish
Notions: straw hat, black cotton lace, purchased floral spray
How historically accurate is it? I'd say medium. I was inspired by a few particular hats but the proportions aren't quite right for the period. I'm having a hard time going for tall rather than round.
Hours to complete: started by shopping at about noon on Saturday, finished at about 9:30 pm on Monday. Maybe around 12?
First worn: Soon, I hope!
Total cost:
$ 2.99 USD for the hat and $3.99 USD for the flowers. All the rest is from the stash.
