The Flat-Crowned Hat Experiment and New Fabric

I have wanted to try out Madame Berg's flat-crowned hat tutorial for awhile now, so I made a few changes and stitched together my own version!

Measuring out the crown! After I stitched the crown to the brim! :) I didn't soak the crown to reshape it because my placemats were a synthetic. I made it so it would be slightly higher where the back of my head is and taper down towards the front of the hat.

The finished product! I made it to match my sack gown. :)

The ribbon rosette. :)

And now, the fabrics I have for my two upcoming projects! The one above is for an 18th century-inspired dress for graduation. (48 days!)

I found this fabric (the one below) at Wal-Mart and it reminded me of a certain gown... anybody want to guess which one? :) It's going to be a round gown for a Williamsburg trip. :)

Ball pictures will come in the next post! :)

Vote and I will give you a cookie.

Okay, maybe not, but I do need yall's opinion.

This being the senior year of fabled greatness, I have a few formal events coming up which, of course, require my wearing fabulous vintage/historical clothes.

I can't help but be inspired by the ever stylish clothes worn by Audrey Hepburn! Who could resist such loveliness? So, vote on which one is best and I'll make it!

This dress is from Love in the Afternoon. I love the blue bow at the waist!

The little black dress from Sabrina.

The ever-classic Givenchy gown from Breakfast at Tiffnay's!

Vote, please! :D
