Missy's 'World Enough and Time' (Doctor Who, S10) majestic feather monstrousity of a hat that I made in 2019 😁✨👒☂️💜💜

This was my second millinery hat-related project (after I made a 15th Century hennin from scratch for my Burgundian outfit), but the first time decorating a hat with feathers, ribbon and fake fruit. I quite like the structure of the hat, and especially all the different layers of feathers of different lengths, colours and textures. It turned out even more extravagant than Missy's original one, I think, but definitely not sorry, because wearing it is so much fun 😁!

Edwardian Fashion: A Brief Overview

The Edwardian era (1901-1914) is the last period in British history to be named after the monarch who reigned over it. Although Edward VII reigned from 1901 to 1910 to be succeeded by George V, the Edwardian period is generally considered to have ended at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. The Edwardian age was known for the excesses, elegance, and strict social rules modeled by the wealthy.

The era's fashion was characterized by expensive fabrics and trimmings, and a mature, distinguished look. Some notable features of Edwardian fashion include: Corsets and long skirts were still common, and women often wore high collars during the day. Evening gowns featured silk satin fabrics, empire waists, and column silhouettes, and were often embroidered with beads or lace. The Gibson Girl style was also popular, featuring embroidered blouses, shirt collars, and waists worn with ties or cravats.

The Edwardian silhouette was that of the S curve – a shape that pushed the hips back and the bust forward, exaggerated by floppy blouses that hung over the waist at the front.

Lingerie style dresses were the preferred attire of tranquil femininity and upper-class lleisure.

Widely caricatured in newspapers and propaganda throughout the 1890s and 1900s, the New Woman was denounced for adopting more masculine styles of dress such as tailored jackets, and bloomers or 'bifurcated skirts' for cycling – not to mention her implied sexual freedom and shockingly masculine habit of smoking.

Dramatically large hats such as this one that almost covers two heads, were seen everywhere in the Edwardian era.

The S silhouette was achieved with a corset that put less pressure at the waistline by pushing a woman's chest forward and her hips back. Also helping the look were dress tops and blouses that were looser than Victorian clothing previous was.

My newest *antique* Edwardian hat purchase! This one just came to me a couple of days ago from a little vintage market in France.

This is a magnificent picture hat from ca. 1909-1910, when hats were at their biggest! This hat is 20 inches wide! It is made of tightly woven straw braid with black velvet underneath the brim, and is trimmed with sixteen large handmade millinery carnations in differing colors. I’m dying!!! There are several large wired bows made of dotted tulle. It also has a Paris label sewn inside! It reads,

“Mme. Large Modes, 10 Rue de Hanovre, Paris-Opera.”

This hat is absolutely museum worthy and I couldn’t be more proud to have brought to Oklahoma!

A new Edwardian hat I just got from France.

This is a large hat from ca. 1910-1912. It is made of natural and black colored straw braid. There is a large statement bow made of red velvet and green silk. Stitched onto this bow are two wonderful steel cut buckles with rhinestones. The most amazing aspect of this hat is the large exotic taxidermied bird with bird of paradise plumes.

The label inside the crown reads, “Aux Trois Quartiers, Boulevard de la Madeleine, Paris.”

Had to throw together a quick display to properly show my newest antique Edwardian hat!

This is a large hat from ca. 1910-1912. It is made of tightly woven Milan straw braid with an upturned brim. It has black velvet ribbon around the crown, along the back, and on underside of the brim. The best part is the abundance of lovely handmade silk flowers and foliage!

This hat is completely lined and has a stamped label which reads, “Duffy McInnerney Co., Rochester, N.Y.”
