This project would not have felt complete without a bit of bling! The fashion plate I was re-creating showed the figure wearing a chatelaine, bracelet and necklace with gold colour schemes.

Project: Polonaise- Part 9, The Hat
I'm going to start off by saying that the hat was probably the least historically accurate part of this entire project. Having said that I do still really like it (and it helps to cover up the wig).
Historically most 18th century caps would be muslin or linen that was stiffened with starch. However this would mean that the hat would require almost constant reshaping practically every time it was worn. In order to avoid this I decided to support the hat with a crown of buckram.
