Remaking Lydia Bennet's Bonnet ||

In 2009, the theatre where I work programmed a stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice for which I made several bonnets. In this video, I’ll explain how bonnets for stage performance differ structurally from historical bonnets, how I made one of the original bonnets using a traditional buckram foundation, and how I remade the style as part of my ongoing research into potential alternatives for buckram.

The second iteration of the Lydia hat is my favorite. It looks so airey and delicate, but strong too.
What is VirtualJaneCon?

@@jackiejames4551 Virtual Jane Con is a free, online convention by and for Jane Austen fans celebrating her life, works, and world through a range of programming events. Over the course of this weekend we've had lots of people upload videos based on different topics surrounding Austen and the regency era. You can find all the videos on a playlist on the Virtual Jane Con CZcams channel.
