"Catherine" is the first of several "Regency" era hats and bonnet styles to be offered.  Based on a bonnet featured in ITV's 2007 production of "Northanger Abbey," "Catherine" is constructed of blocked, wired and sized woven straw with a ruching of ivory silk ribbon on the inside brim.  The crown decoration and ties are brown and black shot silk. This bonnet takes a while to construct as the straw must be coaxed into shape over several blockings.  As shown $155.  SOLD Click on the photo for more images. This bonnet can be made up using other colors of silk, upon request.

"Isabella" is a stovepipe-crowned bonnet of blocked and wired lacy woven straw with black and white striped silk trim and ties.  Rhea feathers in red and black grace the front of the crown, which is lined with open-weave cotton. $185.  Click on photo for additional images. This style can also be created in other weaves and with different colored silk trim.

"Fanny" preview. This deep straw bonnet is based on photographs of two originals.  When completed, the crown will feature flower and ribbon trim and royal blue ties.  Currently, the delicate straw form is bound in blue cotton velvet with vintage gold cotton gimp trim.  Fanny can be ordered in a variety of straws and color trims. $165.00
