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.
