Hi all,

I'm new...but I'm not able to show you my 'hat' yet. I'm really not into being historically accurate (just not me!). BUT, I am totally into doing whatever the heck you want to at a ren faire to get into the spirit.

Maybe this is for another thread, and please don't hesitate to tell me so, but I've always loved feathers. I've seen a lot of feather shops at the Ren faire pop up with nice little clippies, hats, etc.

I saw a gorgeous feather flower with a birdcage veil. Now I KNOW this is historic in some way, lol. But if I"m wearing a corset and a bustled skirt and a birdcage veil for my 'hat' do you think I'm going to look ridiculous?

I just love the darn thing, and honestly, only place I would wear it!

Most Faire's I've been to are very forgiving of people just wanting to dress up even if it's not strictly in "period" for that particular faire.  That being said your outfit sounds like it would fit wonderfully into the "Steampunk" genre which seems to be getting more and more popular recently.  I went to a Steampunk Con in New Jersey this year and spent the whole weekend running around in a corset and victorian style tricorn hat.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/reneesance/4946209914/

Sooo I have acquired a floppy felt hat which i have really wanted. I am hoping i will be able to keep it as it was sort of kidnapped...


No the best picture, but i am loving it. I had to pin up one side so the dog would stop barking but i love that you can pin it and fold it and what not to change its style.

I had to laugh my butt off at that. My dog does the same, ANY head covering and she thinks I'm a mass murderer.

If I take it off and put it down, then she kills said 'offender.'

You look wonderful though, looks perfect on you. And btw, possession is 9/10 of the law...or something. That or just run faster than them.

That reminded me of a time when I walked out of my bedroom and my roomates dog went nuts and started barking at me all because I had rollers in my hair. She was a large lab mix and it really made me nervous to see her so riled up when she was normally such a big baby. Once I started talking to her she calmed down.

looking back i realized i forgot to post my new hat

[Lady D1]

Here is mine.  I got it at TRF in 2008 then I added the feathers.  The brooch I had broke so it will be replaced with a lion head I found on Ebay. 





I will post the revised one when I get it all fixed up along with my new Tall Hat that I just ordered from Tall Toads.
