hat & shoes done

Finally.

And they are...well, done. Feeling very "meh" about the hat in particular, but I don't actively dislike it, so unless some genius idea strikes me, I'm leaving it as-is.

First, shoes:





They're pretty glue-tastic - I think they're more glue than shoe at this point. And the taffeta got wrinkly in some spots...but they're just play shoes, so I can live with it!

Oh, and inspired by these shoes from the Met, dated c1780-99.


And then...the hat.






And the-hat-on-the-floor shot.


MEH.

What it really needs are plumes instead of drabs, but everything had to come from the stash, and I don't have any plumes. :P

Aw yiss, wonderful shoes.

I just translated a list of hats Rose Bertin made for a princess last night, and one was straw, lined with taffeta, with a blue ribbon and white feathers and a garland of flowers! So I'd say it's a pretty great hat!

Thank you! Okay, that sounds like a pretty solid precedent. :D
