Description

Her body covered from head to toe, hidden in wide crinoline skirts, distorted with pinched waists & huge bustles, the Victorian lady's true figure was somewhat of a mystery. What remained then to determine a woman's desirability except her pretty face? And what better way to frame this lovely visage than a perfectly charming bonnet? Without a bonnet or hat, a Victorian lady's costume was incomplete. Hats were available in infinite variety from the practical sunbonnet worn by pioneer women to the ridiculous 'ugly,' a visor-like attachment to a lady's bonnet worn at the beach. Trimmings were just as important as the hat itself, & decorations ranged from the common, such as lace or ribbon, to the bizarre-- whole stuffed birds or bird wings. Typical headdresses of five decades from 1850-1900 are pictured & described here, including hats, bonnets, caps, & hoods. Illustrations are from women's magazines of the day: Harper's Bazaar, Godey's, Peterson's, & the Delineator. Original patterns for two caps, a hood, & a garden hat are also included. This book is a must for lovers of Victoriana as well as any reader interested in hats or costume history. To order: Fabric Fancies, P. O. Box 50807, Reno, NV 89513 or phone (702) 746- 0666.
