I like big BONNETS and I cannot lie - making a 1780s Market Bonnet

I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole of 1780s sewing. This is one of what will be many Georgian-era costume projects. Join me as I recreate a late 18th century big, poofy, market bonnet with leftover silk taffeta and a tutorial from the American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Beauty.
