In reply to sanna. Oh, indeed the Victorians used feathers of all kinds and shapes. Buying "pre-made" millinery feather motifs is quite appropriate and was something they did as well back then. Search for millinery supplies along with eBay and Etsy for options. For design ideas for 1880s hats, check out my Pinterest board.

Hi! Do you think there are ready-made feather mounts available that would be suitable for an 1880's hat like this? I thought to save myself a little time by buying one instead of trying to make it from scratch. I found one that I like, but do you find this too modern for trimming a Victorian hat? Link here. Did they ever use feathers that were cut into shapes in the 19th century?
