Project: Lace-fronting a wig and wig-interactive millinery, Final Installment!

[labricoleuse]

Part One of this series addressed hairline tracing, wig ventilation, and mocking up a coal-scuttle bonnet.

Part Two dealt with setting the wig and covering the buckram base of the bonnet.

Here's how the whole thing turned out, trimming and styling!

WOW! Amazing work & detail. I agree w/you on the era -- not a personal fave, very busy & fussy. Looks kinda freaky to wear. But really interesting in design & construction, totally fascinating to see it all come together.

Ah, this is always such a juicy treat to see your creations as they come to life. That is quite the wig I must say. I wouldn't want to style my hair with armiture wire either! :D

The hat is Beautiful also!

AHA! Finally, a solution to my hair not fitting into a hat! (my hair is quite voluminous when done upwards). Now, how will that go over at school?

Beautiful project. Thanks for sharing. I wish we got to do this type of stuff in our costume shop.

Lace Wig Making

I have seen many who claim to have the skill, but you partnered with the right person! I am in California, if she is ever in my state, I would love to spend some one-on-one time. I sell lace wigs that are manufactured outside the States and my resellers are very interested in the wig making process.

Thank you for freely sharing! And if you ever need lace wigs for a production, let me know!!
