So I've made some Regency accessories lately. You might remember my red stovepipe bonnet? Well, I finally trimmed it and I like it. I'm not sure if I let my 21st century sensibilites take over; I didn't place the rosettes as high as on period fashion plates but frankly, they looked stupid on a 3D hat (as opposed to a 2D drawing of a hat, seen only from one side) so I feel my hat trimmings and their placement are justified.
I also made a new reticule. The fabric is the same cotton velvet as on the bonnet. The embroidery pattern is an original from 1823 Ackermann's Repository I found
here.

Oh my giddy aunt!! I love how you trimmed your bonnet! I think you choose wisely on how and where you placed everything!! You look so perfect in your whole ensemble! Your reticule and the embroidery....gorgeous!!!

Thank you very much!
PoistaWow, what amazing embroidery! For a minute, I thought that reticule was an extant piece! It's gorgeous!
VastaaPoista*Blushes* Thank you very much!
PoistaThe reticule is amazing, your embroidery is so neat and professional! I have some velvet in about the same colour, now I might have an idea what to make of it...
VastaaPoistaOh, thank you! Glad to have inspired you :)
PoistaBeautiful work. And you're absolutely right on the contrast of the ensemble and the turquoise walls, it looks gorgeous.

Thank you, Sabine! And thanks for your help with the hat :)
PoistaMiten mä en aiemmin ole hoksannut käydä sinun blogissa. Tämä puku on vaan kertakaikkisen tyrmäävä! Ihan erityisesti pidän tuosta sivuprofiilikuvasta, siinä on jotakin erityistä viehätystä.
VastaaPoistaKiitos että jaksat käydä kommentoimassa mun onnettomia ei-niin-periodiin-sopivia räpellyksiä :D Tunnustan, olen ollut vähän laiska ja mennyt helpoimman kautta, mutta siihen saattaa olla tulossa muutosta pikku hiljaa ...
Kiitos paljon! Kiva kun on muitakin suomalaisia pukuilijoita :)
