I remember using lots of these in bridal headbands with silk ribbons with matching bouquets in the lat 60's - getting close to vintage style now. I even wore it as my bridal headpiece in 73. Oh O! now showing my age.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful & personal photo Jain - exquisite headpiece. Bridal fashion changes so much These headpieces will be in again soon plus full veils.
I think this would be beautiful on an asymmetrical 1920s style hat with the blossoms pointing down. Or perhaps draping over the side of one of my western derby style bridal hats.
You will love the use of fabric and lace, all before the era of sinamay.
This video has such great close-ups of the hats. Wonderful!
Models display stylish new millinery straight out of the box!
What wonderful hats! The hairstyles are really lovely, too.
Not quite vintage - My first business in Central Queensland 1974 .. O those were the days that I actually made long Cathedral Veils, Waltz Veils all with the blushing veil and full bonnet headpieces full of ruching silk, pearls and flowers. My lounge was always filled with tulle, silk, crepe, chiffon,voiles ribbons and flowers..
