Costumes Parisiens Chapeaux -1830

by Jennifer Rosbrugh on January 8, 2011

Now how lovely are these three head pieces? Those Romantic Era ladies had some design imagination to come up with these large feathered and laced-up toppers. Which one do you like best?

The top and bottom hats are made from wire frames covered with fabric or ribbon. The top pink one having a buckram plane attached to the top of a wire crown. The bottom bonnet’s wire extends above the wire circle forming almost a heart shape where the deep lace is then tacked on.

The crown on the middle yellow chapeau looks so similar to our modern-day baseball caps – but with a large duckbill attached. How strange?

Don’t forget your bows on your 1830s bonnets! They are not to be missed in the 1830s.
