Hats were an essential part of an 18th century wardrobe. They were practical as well as fashionable and worn by all socioeconomic levels. They could be simply decorated with a single ribbon or elaborately decorated with silk and trimming techniques. In this video we take you step by step through the process of decorating 3 styles of straw hats suitable for the 1760’s thru the mid 1780’s.
