Making a Taffeta Drawn Bonnet ||

A project vlog for VirtualJaneCon on making a Regency drawn bonnet using inexpensive materials and basic machine and hand sewing skills. To be clear, this video is not a tutorial. It's a project vlog, and I approach and describe this project as a theatrical milliner. I offer research sources and explain how I make construction choices about methods/materials to use. Other examples include a bonnet made for Charlotte Lucas in a production of Pride & Prejudice and two similar styles made by my millinery students.
