I'm so happy with how this bonnet turned out! And I had everything I needed to cover and trim it in my stash

That's absolutely gorgeous! One of the prettiest bonnets that I've ever seen.

It is so so so pretty and that color is just gorgeous on you! What did you interline it with? I tend to use craft felt cause it's cheap. How did you attach the neck curtain? it looks like it's hemmed on both long edges and then (cartridge?)pleated, and top stitched in place invisibly?

SO beautiful and sweet! I really like the way you twisted the ribbon for trimming. And it's so neat seeing the little details like the net in the curtain.

Looooove! Currently I'm in love with early Victorian things (says she who's making a late 1830s dress currently, big surprise there), and this pink bonnet is just charming.

So very pretty! Is it a bit restrictive for peripheral vision?
