Wide brimmed sinamay

One of the hats I have chosen to make is the wide brimmed sinamay. While these were not seen as often as the smaller pillbox hats, all headwear was taxed and off-ration, so any style was still available to those who could afford it. The crown was very flat, and there was little to no decoration.
Although the materials would have been different, I feel that sinamay would be the best choice to replicate the delicate look of the hat.

Lolita Commission

Today I received a new commission, creating a Lolita style dress and apron for a fellow student.
This is a dress, net underskirt and full fronted apron with waist and shoulder straps and a bow.

I am going to make it as a false button down dress, with a concealed back zipper. The skirt will be box pleated at the waist with box pleats on the hem and apron.
