Here's the hat I made for the black velvet gown I posted about the other week. It is a buckram base covered in black velvet and black bengaline, with a black grosgrain ribbon hat band.
Good morning, Miss Gothic Designer Who Is Featured In This Exhibit!
So am I going to do you proud on Friday night? As one of the designers this exhibit is featuring, I don't want to let you down!! I'm so freaking proud of you!!!
*(don't forget to bring that weird crinoline I gave you so I can wear it with my 1830's gown the following week)
The crinoline... I don't think it will fit in my already stuffed carry-on luggage, so I'll probably need to ship that to you anyway. If it doesn't fit I'll pop it in a box for you tomorrow.
I think we should prop *you* up on display... Surely you just being you merits this! What would your part of the labyrinth be called?
what is black bengaline? Hrm, I'm not the best at fabrics, but it has a fine ribbed texture a lot like grosgrain ribbon. Here is a description I found online: "Bengaline is a synthetic fabric best used for jackets, coats and formalwear. It drapes well and has a beautiful textured surface. It is essentially Moire without the wave pattern."
my sentence about the gathered bit under the brim did not sound enthusiastic enough! I mean that it looks very good, and it is also very interesting as I have not seen that before and it is a great idea.
It sounded fine when I wrote it, but then I read it again and it sounded horrible! That's a good tutorial. oooh, there are all sorts of tutorials on there. I haven't got anywhere on my plan to learn to make hats, because unfortunately I can't do everything at the same time, sigh.... :D
