Hi,
I have constructed the straw part of the 1849 hat, bound the raw edges, and
applied the bavolet! 1/12-scale bavolet = mighty tricky. Now just the
lining-ruffles and the lining and the bow and gimp trims. Whew! hats are
elaborate.
Thank you to everyone for your advice and picture links and
Please do, Lauren! I'd forgotten it was 1/12. wow. AWE :)

Hi,
I'm working on a 1/12 scale (dollhouse miniature) of the outfit in an 1849
fashion plate. (If you've subscribed to the Costume Gallery, it's part of the
Year in Fashion: 1949 collection, http://www.costumegallery.com/1849/ .
It's the March 1849 Fashion Plate : Lady with Children .)
Hi Lauren,
Welcome to millinary, a wonderful, terrible art.
I can answer two of your questions. however, the question of symmetry (#2
and #4) depended on the year and the desire of the wearer. Sometimes
symmetry was all, sometimes asymmetry was the way to go. Perhaps someone
with more experience
