I hand-stitched it just looping around it in the seams.

I also suggest that in a discussion, if you want to avoid people being rude to you, then perhaps you bite back your own rudeness. This isn't a battle of last words.

And lastly, because I'm getting tired of this lame discourse, I have more important things to do than to defend my work against someone I don't know...

It's too bad you're such a smug snot. I think I would probably like you very much and get along with you grandly otherwise.

Actually, I do think very highly of my opinion in this subject...my first and second degrees are in textile conservation and for the bulk of my professional life I have conserved restored and recreated historical garments for collections around the world. I have changed course for my PhD to work on music for historical dance, and I am just as fanatical about accuracy in that too. I am really sorry that criticism upsets you so.

[HerOdyssey]

I was wondering how long it would take you to list your credentials.

Good for you. You do us all a service by preserving lovely historic garments. I live to see images of those lovely items.

However, you might want to look into the disinction between being critical and being patronizing. Especially over a subject of very broad interpretation. Maybe others would 'think highly' of your opinion too if you delivered it in a less condescending manner. Just a suggestion, of course.

Hi, forgot to name the dance, it is called "I care not for these ladies" and is a change partner dance.

I'm busy making more costumes and bonnets for balls this year and they will be variations on your theme. Thank-you for simple and clear instructions much easier than the ones I usually make.

I make period costumes for balls here in England. The most popular are Georgian and Regency. I also attend many costume balls and enjoy the dances of the period. Your hat design can easily be adapted for the purist, but it is lovely as it is and would be very acceptable at most of the Regency functions here.The ones I make are very similar. Keep up the good work and keep history alive.

Your background music by the way, is one of my favourite dances.

Thank you - clear and simple. I need to make 'easter bonnets' with the 'old people' at the local day centre, so simplicity is key

Gorgeous creations!

Thank you!

Thank you very informative :-)

Very fun! Thank you for showing the hand-stitching of buckram, it helped me to see it. Now I just need to see wire being sewn. I'm guessing it's zig-zagged over?

Right -- I am an inexperienced, no-degree hat fan who wants to have some fun! Thanks!
