In your honor, I will try to work on the hat first for my next project. Which will either be a straw hat (I'm thinking Denise Nadine's Beth) or a tall hat, depending on which project I start. I know what I want to do for those, at least partially. I need to build up a stash of general hats so I don't have to make one for every single outfit. That would be nice...Andrea Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062944197031401929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914377881475193892.post-48509411611882964962012-09-19T07:41:49.174-05:002012-09-19T07:41:49.174-05:00No, I'm enabling you to make a hat first, then...No, I'm enabling you to make a hat first, then make the dress and then another second-guess hat at the last minute. You might not like the first hat but at least your head will be decorated if the second hat falls through. And besides, it's good practice. ^.^Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322829814609406763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914377881475193892.post-51781071761376826612012-09-18T23:46:20.064-05:002012-09-18T23:46:20.064-05:00It's so weird, I'll see pictures of women ...It's so weird, I'll see pictures of women wearing these hats with late bustle outfits, and they look fine, but just looking at it by itself looks so weird. See, now you're enabling me to not make my hat until the last minute so I don't second guess my hat choices because they're out of context.<br /><br />Now I'm having thoughts about women hiding stuff underneath their hat. To go with their huge bustles that I'm sure is just a big compartment, like a trunk of a car. Then is the hat the glove compartment then? ^_^<br /><br />Thanks! After I took that picture, I realized just how far I've come with this dress...and I'm excited to wear it!Andrea Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062944197031401929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914377881475193892.post-43486203772343979162012-09-18T21:22:15.578-05:002012-09-18T21:22:15.578-05:00I read somewhere, probably at TV, that you shouldn...I read somewhere, probably at TV, that you shouldn't judge your hat out of context. An 1880s tall hat with jeans and a t-shirt is gonna be crazy weird. With an 1880s dress, maybe not so much. That said, I'm almost 6'2'' in my Victorian boots; add a tall hat and I feel a bit freakish.<br /><br />Also, that skirt rocks!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322829814609406763noreply@blogger.com
