I have two Regency millinery pieces to share tonight.
First.
I made this Regency era straw bonnet working directly from original fashion illustrations. I wanted to be sure to be true to the original lines for straw in this shape. I recommend seeing my full length commentary on my blog as it includes the sources I used.
The hand sewn plait is a supple Milan straw. The brim is fully wired. I blocked the tip and crown on an original bonnet block. Available in my shop.
Second.
When I saw this fashion illustration
of a large crown hat with a little turned up brim trimmed in blue, I knew I had to make it. This hat is going to be so much fun to decorate.
The hand sewn plait is a supple Milan straw. The brim is wired inside the crown. Note, it can be seen from above. Also, find it in my shop.
If I Had My Own Blue Box: 
Ooooh! I really like both, but that first one is my favorite! So I clicked on the link to your shop and saw that it had sold…I am equal parts happy for you (and the new owner!) that it’s going to a good home, and sad for me because I missed out haha 😉 I sure hope you’ll be continuing the Regency explorations!
Thank you.
Btw, I started one in copper hoping I have enough. I also have some special plaits I am going to try.
I love the first one! The lines are really nice. You always do a great job on your bonnets!
Thank you
