Wow; I'm impressed with what you are doing! I wear hats all the time and cloches are some of my favorites, partly because I have a number of deaf friends and signing is much easier in a cloche (with a wide-brim I usually have to take it off to sign)<br />The first few times of wearing a hat out somewhere it can be a little intimidating but you quickly get used to it and folks around you get used to it pretty quickly too. Side braids work well, back braids work depending on the size of the hat. Buns can be challenging. I have been known to do the double loop pony tail (which I guess is considered to be a "low" bun) and that works pretty well too. Have fun playing around with it!<br />Thanks for your perspectives on modesty. As the mother of a son I have always appreciated young women who understand the importance of modesty (and the mothers who taught them to value that).<br />"Everybody's Aunt Virginia"Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929891137531671124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524087774719465267.post-16195307369970872252010-05-28T09:19:43.267-05:002010-05-28T09:19:43.267-05:00These are very pretty, I do like the side braid wi...These are very pretty, I do like the side braid with it.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524087774719465267.post-78604493855708764872010-05-27T23:58:41.601-05:002010-05-27T23:58:41.601-05:00woops!

( I wish I could say I had a summer job at a living history museum...but alas)<br />My other job is on Dad's work crew. Sadly that's a little too windy for a bonnet. *grin*<br /><br />I actually hadn't considered making one....I wonder if I could?

They're so darn cute, and personally I think they're classy (and vintage) enough to stay in style.<br /><br />Are you going to make one or buy one you think?<br /><br />-Amy<br /><br />P.S. What wonderful summer job do you have where you get to wear an 1860s bonnet?? (Lucky.)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183354814224320009noreply@blogger.com
