He found it in a shoebox and --for some ungodly reason-- decided to ship it that way too...so the who thing arrived flattened and torn. I've coaxed it back to life but it's sadly too delicate to wear any way other than standing perfectly still.)<br /><br />I've had okay luck with vintage hats, but they are always one-off finds after scouring Ebay and Etsy for hours on end. <br />Finding a contemporary source would be best, but anything I've come across so far hasn't had quite the right silhouettes and have been crazy expensive.<br /><br />Sorry, I know that's not much help...<br /><br />Because this hat is basically unwearable at events I'm still on the lookout for the perfect period hat myself! ;)<br /><br /> Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013378967522569657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307546813979726396.post-2871759437682026422017-08-17T17:57:32.784-07:002017-08-17T17:57:32.784-07:00This is a lovely outfit!

Sorry...just seeing this now!
The apr...Hi Erika! <br /><br />Sorry...just seeing this now!<br /><br />The apron and apron strings are made up separately (a large rectangle with hemmed edges on all sides and some self-fabric tape with the edges tuned and finished). The the finished edge of the fabric is whip stitched to the edge of the apron string, just in the middle so that the corners are left hanging. <br />I actually think these edges are dangling a little too much so I'll probably go back and stitch an additional inch on either side.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013378967522569657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307546813979726396.post-49743673743808409262016-08-25T18:22:24.548-07:002016-08-25T18:22:24.548-07:00Thanks, Elisa!!

There are no closures on the ruff band at all.<br />I actually intended to baste it on for events, but found that pinning works just fine.<br />(and makes it easier to turn the ruff over for multi-day events after the top side gets dirty)<br /><br />You can see it pinned to the partlet band more clearly at the bottom of this post: http://wastedweeds.blogspot.com/2015/11/late-period-ruff.html<br /><br />I'm actually re-setting this ruff in a week or so. I'll probably tone it down a bit with smaller sets so it's not as face-eating!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013378967522569657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307546813979726396.post-23238709081712415902016-08-25T11:44:53.383-07:002016-08-25T11:44:53.383-07:00Hi there!

I noticed in the very last photo shows the ruff open and not just closed around your neck like a choker.

Is the fabric just tucked into the string or is the fabric sewn in with the edges/corners hanging?Erika kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086673285608786783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307546813979726396.post-7886078672795219922015-12-21T07:58:49.433-08:002015-12-21T07:58:49.433-08:00Thanks!

This one actually goes to my husband...I had different (darker) swatches picked for the apron and petticoat, and he convinced me to go in a brighter, happier direction!<br />(But then I accidentally bought both fabrics, so don't be surprised if a red linen dress shows up eventually!) <br />Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013378967522569657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307546813979726396.post-16963495977615145782015-12-21T05:53:52.756-08:002015-12-21T05:53:52.756-08:00Your work is gorgeous as always!
