The late 1830s is a fascinating transitional period in Western fashion history and is often ignored in favor of the over-the-top styles from earlier in the decade. Let's learn about shifting styles in both hair and dress. *** REFERENCES *** Black Snail bonnet pattern: https://blacksnailpatterns.com/listing/962896115/romantic-era-1830-bonnet-and-pelerine Bonnet base shapes: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Magasin_f%C3%B6r_konst,_nyheter_och_moder_1838,_illustration_nr_24.jpg All other fashion plates from: https://tessa.lapl.org/cdm/search/collection/fashion/ My 1840s bonnet: https://dixiediy.com/2017/01/historical-costuming-1840s-day-dress-and-bonnet.html *** SUPPLIES *** https://www.judithm.com/product/heavyweight-buckram/ *** MUSIC *** Courtesy of EpidemicSound.com *** CONNECT *** Follow me on Instagram @dixiediy: http://instagram.com/dixiediy I blog at http://dixiediy.com If you'd like to support the channel, I have a Ko-Fi account: https://ko-fi.com/dixiediy I may not always have time to respond to all comments but know that I do read and appreciate them!
