Mourning Bonnet

C.1890S this is a mourning bonnet in unrelieved black crepe. It was hard to shoot because I had no real hair to pin the bonnet to. It should sit at the back of the head straight up. The crepe is all pleated and draped over and around itself creating a kind of bow with knot at the center front. The black silk tie and bow hook together with hook and eye.

Black Silk Toque

C. 1890s Wonderful toque in black wrapped straw rolls and black silk organza with black satin ribbon bow on the top. Further accenting the crown are black flowers and raven feathers. Black netting covers it all a drapes down the back. The white that you see is the tissue paper that keeps the bow loops full so they will not lay flat and run the risk of developing splits. The wrapped and rolled straw coils encircle the face of the toque and wrap down around to the underside. On the underside of the brim concentric circles of draped black silk organza. On the top of the hat are matching concentric circles of the black silk organza that narrow the closer the circles get to the ornamentation. The black satin bow sits atop a cluster of shiny raven blue-black feathers. A sprig of black silk flowers on long stems is attached to the side of the hat and then spreads out over the top of the toque peeking out from under the bow. Egret feathers are used in the flower buds so that you get the Egret feathers spraying out on a curving arc from the silk flowers. This is a very attractive hat and a great example of a toque, it is possible that this hat was for mourning but who knows since EVERYBODY wore black thanks to Queen Victoria and her obsession with mourning for what 40 years?!
