how should i decorate my victorian hat?

for tomorow night. i have to b a victorian teen girl. 1890's style. my hat is black and has the round thing around it but is pinned up in the back. decorating tips?
when i say 'round thing' i mean brim. sorry.

Put a ribbon on it that matches your gown
and maybe a nice gardenia flower or a rose
someplace toward the back or side.
Those are victorian-like.
Lace might be nice for the ribbon if you have it.

First of all, this is Spam. We all have things to sell, but we don't do it here. Secondly, it takes no talent at all to buy stuff and assemble it. Learn a REAL craft.

I had a dream about my husband crying uncontrollably and in I was wearing a victorian style dress and hat?


It is said that dreams of a past life often include elements of the time period. This could be one of those dreams, however the important thing is what is going on now that could be a re-enactment of a past life occurance?

Most likely that was the purpose of the dream. Are you about to make a choice that would distress your husband?


What do you call the hat type things women wore in the Victorian Era?

Where can I get a plain black Victorian Riding hat for under $50?

something like this....http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store/000479.php
I looked at Ebay, they have nothing like this. They had Calico hats -called them Mourning hat. Not what I was looking for.
Googled, Yahoo'd, Etsy.
Please don't just generally refer me to a site. I was hoping for something specific.
Attn: YES, I have looked at Ebay.
PLEASE read the whole question before directing me to a site I have already searched.
Thanks!
I got two offers, one without contact info, one changed ehr mind, I guess...anyone else?

You may have to try some serious costume shops-NO, not the kind that just sell around Halloween. I'm talking about stores that sell costumes year round. They usually sell to theaters and places like that. Check your phone book-or better, www.superpages.com is a good site, because all you have to do is put in a keyword, and it will give you several subcategories.
If anything, you could always have one made. I buy patterns and while I was at home (before I came to school) I made one similar like it, because I couldn't find it anywhere. So that's always an option.
If you still can't find anyplace, email me, I may be able to make you one.

DIY victorian hats? ?

Where can I find instructions for one of those little victorian hats that women used to wear? The sideways ones.


Here's a site for patterns; most of them appear to be patterns you would have to buy:
http://www.westernersoutfitter.com/Wingeo/Hat%20patterns.htm

This one looks like what i pictured when I read your question:
http://www.victoriana.com/Victorian-Hats/victorianhat-1890.html

Depending on what you need the hat for, you could also modify an existing hat. I built a replica 1880s hat for my sister for a part in a play; it included a basic white beach hat, some veiling fabric, silk flowers, and a big fluffy feather. It looked quite authentic and we got many compliments on the hat.


Hatpin help! I need to know how to use the hatpin with the 1800's style hat I am wearing for a victorian tea.


Poke the pin through the crown of the hat, maybe about half-way between the brim and the top. Be sure it grabs some of your hair as it's making its way through, and poke it back out the other side. It may take some practice getting it in strait. It looks nicer if each end is sticking out at an equal length, rather than pushing the pin all the way through to where the head is flat against the hat and the point is sticking way out on the other side. Just be patient in trying to get it in strait. You'll get it eventually. =)
