Austentation DIY Blank Regency / Georgian Style Poke Bonnet - $36 - (Brimfield, MA)

I find my straw bonnet looking very much like other people's, and quite as smart. Jane Austen to Cassandra May 5, 1801 What is more evocative of the Regency than a bonnet? Straw Poke bonnets like this one were worn for the duration of the Regency, as both the period fashion plate (1812 'Costumes Parisians') and period fashions (from the Kyoto Museum) show. The name Poke bonnet came because the style was literally "poking" out over the face to protect one's complexion from sun, rain and wind. This plain bonnet will be perfect for trimming to match any gown you choose! There are so many ways to dress up this adorable bonnet! It's quite addicting! See my last images for sample styles. This listing is for the plain bonnet, as shown in the first image. If you would like a trimmed version, feel free to contact me about custom colors and trimmings. I'm always happy to try something new. Search online for Austentation: Regency Accessories to see my full line of products shipped from my smoke free home.
