Ooh! I'm so excited about this! Yay for fluffy hats!

[jennylafleur]

Yay!! Fluffy hats do make the world a better place! :>

Love! Major love going on right now! This will be so awesome once its done!

[jennylafleur]

How I will get it to LA I don't know... but really is this the time to be practical? I think not. :P

[girliegirl32786]

Practicality is so overrated! I've been contemplating a giant "stove-pipe"/tall crown hat (whatever you want to call it) and I ask you, is that practical? ;P

[jennylafleur]

Practical no, but I want one too! That and a giant black Gainsbourgh hat of course. I'm almost out of buckram though so I'll need to order more before I can do either! And we are back to practicality. Moo.

I'm sure black will be great, but I have to say, I loved the green and raspberry from the tea--it's a unconventional combination that just looks really period! Good luck with the hat!

[jennylafleur]

I liked it to - just wanting a change! Thanks!

I definitely wouldn't call your outfit from the tea garish. They were bright colors, but they really worked together. (Can you tell I'm really taken with that outfit? ;-) )

[jennylafleur]

Thanks! I did like it and the fact the combo was almost garish. I was really going for almost obnoxious, just for the fun of it. :P I'm just wanting something different, mostly so it will feel like "new".

Oh my heavens! Where did you get all these GLORIOUS images! I have never seen most of them- and now they have been added to my files- thanks! I also fully support all manner of big hat! The bigger the better!

I'm so bad about writting down where I get these things! Most of the fashion plates came from Journal des Luxus und der Moden though - which I found from jenthompson's mad online reasearching skills.

(Click "Blättern" to browse through each year/month. Look for the entry that says "Innhalt" for the fashion plates. Most months have 2 fashion plates and one decorative furniture pic, hit the arrow button at the top of the image page (when it says 1/2 or 1/3) to view all the images from that month. I took a couple of hours on day to go through it month by month, which was a bit tedious I'll admit but I didn't want to miss anything! Jen also suggested searching by "Suche", or terms like robe, redingote, caraco, turque, etc.)
