This extant lace on wire hat gives me all the Gibson Girl feels...there's something to be said for feeling taller! . #extanthat #gibsongirl #belleepoque #labelleepoque #museumlace #lilyabsinthe #edwardianstyle #1900s #1900sfashion #historicallyaccurate #lingeriedress #edwardianoldwest #edwardianstyle (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTcxprF3-a/?utm_medium=tumblr

This was the fashion plate I used for silhouette inspiration for these pieces, what started out as simple... became a project with strategic padding, specific corset styles, crazy hairpieces, and petticoats. Um, lots of them. . . . . . #stillstitching #lilyabsinthegown #oldgownrestored #extantembroidery #extanthat #restoredparasol #museumlace #hiddenclosures #LAartist (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uzNFkpi7P/?igshid=w1pl03i1o02o

Restored museum deacessioned 1890s hat, she required a complete brim edge treatment and lining replacement. Flowers, willow plumes, cut steel buckle, and ikat silk ribbon are antique as well. This adds a lot of height to the wearer! . . . . #1890sfashion #extanthat #victorianhat #theother90s #mohairvelvet #lightasair #fashionplatehat #violethat #handpaintedflowers #antiquelace #vintageglamour #silk #handfinished (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1C_LR2Adfr/?igshid=ahf4le07mnwm

The delicate dance of balancing tall hats and parasols, between the perils of possible hair pulling and eye gouging.. the struggle is real! . . . . #girlygirlissues #lilyabsinthelife #restoredparasol #extanthat #edwardian #edwardiandress #originalsouces #allextantlaces #lilyabsintheacre #edwardianpromenade (at Lily Absinthe Gowns & Corsetry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eFz6MA3rs/?igshid=1pyllrjnidyv7
