Because I am still infatuated with the men's costumes from the BBC's Little Dorrit, and because I have been in a hat mood lately, I have to share our latest acquisition of a mid-1850s top hat.
The curve of the brim,*sigh*, the quality of the felt, *drool* and the overall look just makes one want to swoon.
The interior is lined in red silk and sewn with 16-18 stitches per inch!! A true work of art created by legendary hatter Tim Bender.
Which brings us one step closer to a Little Dorrit impression. Well, a girl can always dream :).
We're off to Seattle tomorrow to the Symphony and the Children's Theatre production of Goodnight Moon. Have a great weekend!
