I have decided to share select pieces from my winter hood/bonnet collection. Every few days, I will post a new piece. My collection currently spans most of the 19th century, though lightly at the very beginning and end. The pieces I share will be from the early and mid-Victorian eras, roughly 1830s through the 1870s. All but one of my pieces originate from the United States.
For this edition of the winter millinery series, I have a video to share. This video is of my first observations of this winter moments after I opened it.
Here are some detail photos:
Brim quilting and turn back.
Bavolet quilting and bias piecing
Brim quilting and basting at brim edge
Interior with soiling on lining.
Crown quilting
Interior showing hand stitching of silk facing, how the ribbon ties are attached, quilting on lining.
The neck seam or bavolet seam is bound in silk while the crown to brim is raw.
Cotton or linen warp threads along the sides of the silk ribbon.
Note 1 – Additional Winter Millinery can be found in posts from September though November, 2019 using the search term: Winter Millinery Series or clicking here.
