Comments on: The 1886 Ivory Spring Hat https://historicalsewing.com/the-1886-ivory-spring-hat 19th Century Costuming for Those Who Dream of the Past Mon, 03 Jul 2017 15:19:45 +0000 hourly 1 By: Gina In Vista CA https://historicalsewing.com/the-1886-ivory-spring-hat/comment-page-1#comment-1052 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:46:23 +0000 http://www.historicalsewing.com/?p=1625#comment-1052 Thanks for your insights. I use spray adhesive with my buckram hats to make a lining or fabric stick to the form. It makes it nice and smooth and then doesn’t scoot around and pucker. Also, coming from an electricians background, I use tie wire or hank wire rather than millinars wire. It’s just as good so try the home stores or electrical shops for alternatives if needed. Very pretty! I’ll try one of these too.

I have one “upside down flower pot hat” that was made for me to go with my bustle costume, made by the same person. (HollyGene Leffert, q.v.) But, even though I am selling most of my costumes, I won’t sell this one. I made a white asymetrical overskirt, from a pattern from Truly Victorian. Now, I will get this pattern and have the courage to make a hat to got with the black and white of the bustle costume. If only I could find somewhere to wear it…

(you also don’t have to line the brim). There are some fabulous straw placemats nowadays that even look like the antique straw lace hats. PS: Before sewing, soften the straw by rolling it in a wet towel, and microwave it for 30 seconds: it will come out soft & pliable, and the straw won’t split in sewing. You can use a steam iron on the brim when it’s done to get a nice flat brim).

You made it make sense (I have always read hat patterns and had no idea what they were talking about in adding brim to hat).

I just used the last bit that I had that I bought in a class a few years ago.

I’ve had my roll of millinery wire for years and am now down to only a couple feet. Not sure where I initially got it from but try Hats by Leko (www.hatsupply.com) and tell her I sent you. (Look under Hat Making Tools then Wire. Note she does have a minimum but take a look at her velvet leaves to add to your order. The leaves on my 1876 Wedding Cake Dress came from her.)

You can also look at http://www.RichardTheThread.com and http://www.JudithM.com (her catalog of products is a bit unwieldy to sort thru).

Yours came out just brilliantly! I absolutely love it 🙂
Out of curiosity, where do you get your millinery wire?

So I’ve printed out your notes and observations for when I do. It was beautiful in person.
