Millinery
for the Empire Lady with
Susan Spencer
What could be better to complement your
Empire-style outfit than an appropriate hat? Each participant
will design and build their own hat, starting with the creation
of a brown paper pattern and working through construction of
the form from buckram and wire, then covering and trimming the
hat in a style appropriate to its time period. You'll have your
choice of a shako-style bonnet or an "Emma" bonnet,
both of which appear in fashion plates dating from 1804 through
1820. Work will be done both by hand and by machine.
Kit includes buckram, wire and joiners, millinery needles, pins,
thimbles and brown paper; participants are required to bring
approximately 1.5 m of covering fabric (more if you're wanting
a really big hat!), matching thread, and scissors, and, if desired,
fabric scraps and purchased trims for creating hat ornaments.
