Louretta Rose Bonnet

A few weeks ago I made a bonnet to match Innocent World's Lauretta Rose print in Ecru. I really loved decorating this bonnet because the print it was supposed to match was just gorgeous! It has lots of extra flowers, lace, and even a bow to match the bow on the print.

I think it looks so lush and gorgeous! I am definitely proud of this bonnet! If you want to read a review by the girl I made it for, check out her blog post on it.

I've actually made a few more bonnets since the last update, I've just been a bit slow putting them up on my blog or writing about them.

My Etsy shop is down at the moment due to post-convention disorganization, and I have a con I'll be vending at in less than two months! Hopefully I get the shop up before then! Although, I have been toying with the idea of just having my own webshop, instead of an Etsy. But that's something I'll definitely have to look into!

A Bonnet Review

I recently shipped out a commission for Miss Lumpy, a fellow Lolita blogger, to match a beautiful dress she commissioned.

Here is a review she did of the bonnet I made, as well as more pictures of the bonnet. I am so happy that she likes it! The bonnet is made with gorgeous silk in a unique aqua blue color. This was the first time I had worked with silk and I was at first really nervous about it but quickly got the hang of it and really enjoyed working with it. It gathers beautifully.

This bonnet is much shorter than the bonnets I usually make, the crown is meant to just reach across the head to the ears. This bonnet is also a bit simpler than other bonnets I have made and that works really well with the dress that it was meant to match.

I actually have a large amount of silk left over in this color and am looking into dying it to make a couple more bonnets with it. I'll definitely be dying a large amount of it black, because you can never have too many black bonnets, but I am also interested in what other colors of dye would do to the blue color.
