But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching!
Hello! I hope you enjoyed this look at my hat collection ❤ I'm going to be filming a video answering your sewing questions, so what do you want to know? What are your questions about my sewing, your sewing, pattern drafting, fabrics, tools, costuming, fashion school, techniques, etc.?
I would love to hear about the fabrics you like to use, their applications and the difference between them. Thanks!
I would love to see how you make a hat from a placemat. My question for sewing would be what books did you use or would be good for learning more about garment making. My skill level is more of a quilter/crafter and As A plus size gal would love to learn more vintage garment making. Thank you beautiful.
@@robinaaramirez ditto
I would like to know the best way to make a suit that hides my imperfection. A little more detail on how to adjust the bust area, I also am a dd. Unfortunately I am not small waisted!
I don't sew with material but I can sew clothes I make from Crochet or knitting, I don't know why I can do one but not the other... I've tried but maybe I should try again. I'm older and have more patience and I would love to try again, you and other utuber sewers are inspiring me to give it a shot so I'll be watching all of the sewing utubers more and more...I really would love to get into the older clothes and hats... I'm already getting into the undergarments that I can knit because I bought a book from the 1890's, a reproduction but I love it... now I need to find a book with the actual 1890's clothing I could use to make Victorian clothing... love the style but wouldn't have survived the era itself... hugs Lynn Weasenforth 💯💜💛💙🌹☮️
I really enjoyed the casual nature of these two hat videos, it was like sitting with a friend as they organized their stuff. very chill 10 outta 10!
Thank you Trystan!
Yes please on the hat making videos! There are so few good online tutorials for vintage hat making and they're all behind massive paywalls!
Gold feather headband hat=I Love Lucy!! Love it.
Thank you Sue!
✨
So what I'm getting from this is that I need to watch Covergirl....
Yes! There is a multi part version of it on RUclips even if you can't find it anywhere else also...
Don’t be shy about hats. Wear them. As they say, every queen needs a crown.
I will! I’m going to wear to work and more regular. I have worn 4 vintage hats OUT in the past few month!
Hurrah for part 2! You're spoiling us this week. Thankyou for another glimpse into your marvellous collection.
Thanks Gillian! Too many hats for one video ha 😅
Hat tutorials would be so fun!
You could wear the hat box on your head and you would still look stunning! I think you can pull off the gold and feathers, can't wait to see how you style it. Thanks so much for the second part of your hat tour! 💚🖤💚🖤💚
Thank you! I think the gold feather headband looks much better with my hair done properly like this, when I tried it on with straight hair right out of the mail when I got it it didn't quite work ha 😂
Inspiring; now I want to go hat shopping ;-) FYI, there was something called "milk cotton" (fabric made from milk) that was used in the earlier parts of the 20th century. It was also referred to as milk fiber or casein fiber which I'm thinking may be what the "protein fiber" was in one of your hats. I'm also thinking that the wool/casein hat is probably wool and milk. Thanks for sharing your collection!
It seems to be coming out more now too.
As someone who doesn't even drink milk because I find it weird...(yes I still eat ice cream ha 😅) I find the idea of solid material fashion objects made of milk even stranger 😬
@@TheClosetHistorian I'm very allergic to milk. I wonder if those of us with allergies would be able to wear it. Now I have to find some so I can check it out ;-)
My mum got married in a suit, it was a 80s does 40s white jacket and skirt, and she had a hat very simular to the white evening hat. She looked amazing, but it was the only time I've ever known her not wear trousers.
My mom also married wearing a suit, grey with gold lame' trim. November of 1948.
@@maryblaylock6545 that sounds really nice, I bet she has some lovely photos of it
Yep last time my daughter wore a dress was 20years ago she was bridesmaid at my wedding,
My mum wore a suit jacket and a knee length skirt with a hat when she got married. It was in the 90s
Comparing hats to pokemon is so hilariously freaking accurate!! My collection has been growing and I can't stop! I need "to catch them all"!!!😆😆
I have the same problem with gloves...😅
Yay!.. I've beeen refreshing ytube waiting for part 2.
and ofcourse hat no. 1 comes through with heavy "never more" energy!. Also in terms of learning how to make the wire type hats, Angela Clayton has some great video tuts to get one started.
The gold feather headband is SO cute! Definitely needs like a 30s style black dress and elbow length black gloves. Gold heels maybe? 🤔 I Definitely feel like it's special to a big band performance or a jazz club or something? Not really an every day hat but good grief Bianca! You could wear the craziest hats and make everyone just in awe. I vote go for it
Thanks Holly! I need a friend in life who also wants to go sit overdressed at fancy jazz clubs lol 😂
This winter I actually started wearing a kind of hat: I made my own winter coat in a beautiful prince of wales check, lined with fun fur and I found a matching trilby to go with it. Loved it! Wore it with a matching mask 😷, so the whole outfit was complete 😂
I save a scrap of every project aside now for making a matching mask 😷
that gold and black headband @30:00 reminds me so much of Miss Fisher. I'm sure she wore something similar, though maybe more voluminous in one episode.......think maybe the outfit was evening wear but not 100% sure (goes and rewatches whole thing again)
Hats on Heads by Mildred Anlezark is a great book for learning millinery. I studied millinery for two years. Love it, but so not sellable in Australia except for when it is Melbourne Cup. 😢
YAASS!!!! All the hat tutorials, please!
Nailed it so hard with your commentary on the scene from Covergirl!! The entire movie is next level fashion-wise but you hella said it...that one scene with all those girls waiting to audition...an utter dream.
It's so good, all of Eve Arden's outfits the whole time are extra AMAZING 😍😭 and Jinx Falkenburg!!
Thank you for getting part 2 out so quick! Really appreciated. A little 50s clamp hat is my most favourite style, so incredibly easy to wear. I have quite a few but you! Now you have A Lot! And I've loved seeing every single one, marvellous! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you Rowan! As a magpie I feel compelled to find one in every color 😅
That "imported fur" wool/velvet hat is likely beaver! It's hard to tell in the video but beaver is exactly the texture you're describing. It largely fell out of fashion by the end of the Edwardian era, so its really cool to see a later hat made of it!
wait just the veiling is such a lewk, how iconic. the little blue striped hat at the end gave me mary poppins vibes, also iconic
Casein is a fabric made from milk. There's a British Pathe film reel from the 1930s about it. ruclips.net/video/OyLnKz7uNMQ/видео.html As for the protein fiber I'm guessing that it could be a generic (but legal) term to describe mixed fibers. Like if a company used alpaca, wool, and rabbit fur together in an amalgamation but without being able to pinpoint which percentage was which.
Loved looking through your hats with you! I never could wear the clamp style because they give me headaches, but they looks gorgeous on you.
These videos are not helping with my need to buy a hat 😆
Once I went to a show wearing a hat and 3 security guys came at me and said I would have to remove the hat because it was forbidden. It made me wonder what people put under their hats nowadays that need 3 armed security guys to surround them.
Wear the feather bunny one to DISNEY!! It looks like mouse ears
The funky headband I could see being perfect for a new year's eve party! And the ivory hat with wings is my favourite
Angela Clayton has made at least one wrapped wire hat. I adore your little black one that disappears in your hair. Yes, the little pillbox in the 80s, yes, we did. And the other little Tudor - SQUEEEEEEEE____ I LOVE that hat, it makes like mouse ears!! I wish I could remember the 40s film that I saw one worn in!!! I would LOVE to see how it's made!!
YES make hats please! I'm so eager to, but there are not many good, in depth creation videos to make mid-century style hats, not rockabilly fascinators. Please!
I found one of those 1940s hats with the ring on the back at a local "fill a bag for $1" sale and was beyond excited lol. I paid like 12 cents for it and it's just so sweet if a bit damaged. I felt like it needed rescuing. Your collection is incredible 😍 I'm always impressed by these videos you do. If you ever decide to take up millinery for yet another hobby I feel like you'd probably make the most extra couture hats ever. Just saying lol. Lots of shifting fabrics and interesting textures. 🤔
Thank you Holly! I do know how to do some millinery, so we can do some hatting here on the channel in the future!
I am a Such Hat Lady! Love Your statement, "I feel like a Super Villon, (wearing covid mask) anyways- might as well top it off with Something Fabulous !" LOVE your Stile Keep it up-- Colleen
Thank you Colleen!
I'm so jealous of you in all your hats, you are so glamorous. I look like such a toe when I try to wear hats 👒
Thank you Elizabeth! I am sure you do not indeed look like a toe lol 😂
I would Love to see a video with your "me made" hats !!!
I was minding an old lady & we were watching one of the Thin Man movies. I was watching the fashion (because now I do that after watching your videos) & I just blurted “Did you ever wear little silly hats?” And she excited exclaimed “Oh Yes!” And started giggling. It was the most animated I’d ever seen her.
This is super adorable!! Good for her and the silly hats ❤ Also the Thin Man films are excellent fun, watch The Women for the fantastic fashions too of course 🤩
It's odd, I wear beanies and knit berets all winter but I feel uncomfortable wearing any kind of summer hat or formal hat. I admire hat ladies and aspire to become one.
I love your hat videos! Please make one of those 50s clamp hat thingies! I want one but can't find any so I need to make my own. Or two. Or ten... 😂
And that golden with feather is so pretty. You should keep it and use it.
Thank you Jenni!
Your collection of hats is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
Thanks Stephanie!
Wire hats are easy to make if you have patience with fiddly work. I imagine since you have a lot more patience than I do for beading, plus you're experienced with jewelry making, you'll manage a wire hat just fine. I believe Vogue Patterns may have even re-issued a wire-hat pattern a while ago if you want something like a pattern to start you off to get in the swing of things.
Gold feather headband ....HELL YES!!!
Casein is a sour milk product that can be used to make paints and also a milk fiber which dyes and sews like wool. I'd sure like to try the paints!
Thank you for taking us along on your hat conservation storage I enjoyed that a lot!
I also find that sitting on floors or the ground has a tendency to make my legs fall asleep. Needles and pins time! As this usually happens when I am alone I find trying to work my numb legs into a straight line and lying down for a while until the blood gets moving again very helpful. Hope this helps. May we all have safe opportunities to get out and enjoy one another's company SOON! Blessings on you and your cats!🐱
Thank you Mary! ❤
Many thanks for such a stunning and informative video. Your collection of 1950s/ 1960s hats is simply superb and you certainly wear them well and have the natural grace to carry them off. I often wear hats in the winter of the 1920s cloche style ( reproduction) and get approached by other middle-aged ladies like myself saying that they wished they could wear hats. My advice to them is just to try on lots and lots of hats until you find a style that feels so comfortable that you do not then realise you are wearing a hat and can be yourself and not self- conscious. A great hat certainly sets off an outfit especially in these oh so casual days of dressing. Many thanks again for your superb style and enthusiasm.
Thank you Alysia!
I wore a hat (with tea length dress) for my 80's wedding. The hat you described as a Tudor crown would go wonderfully with your renaissance-inspired sleeves! The gold with the bunny ears reminds me of 1920's evening wear.
Ooo I think you’re right!
A sequined 1920’s dress would be fab with that gold bunny ears headband.
I was thinking I’d wear it to high tea at disney with a black dress.
I have been wanting to make hats so badly. I usually study vintage hats so I can try to create some in the future. Hopefully you will take on creating hats and teach how you created yours.
You should do a Carol inspired lookbook!!!! 😊🌈🌈🌈
Thank you for this. I trained as a milliner, so I LOVE hats, especially old ones.
The one that uses casein - that's a man made that comes from milk, if I remember correctly. Maybe the one that says 'protein fibre' is the same sort of thing??
And on the possibly 80s one - styles like that were definitely around then - hats had a mini resurgence in the 80s, thanks to Princess Diana, and that vagely hostessy style was very popular.
Thanks Debbie! I am going to try and not to think about milk proteins, as I already find milk itself kinda gross 😅
I love the gold feather hat and I would wear it out anywhere!! It is fabulous and very attractive on you! It's playful and sophisticated at the same time. The green and blue stripe is great! I love hats!! I wear them all of the time. One reason I wear them is because I have to, as I have lupus so I need to be protected from the sun at all times, but I wore them everywhere long before I was diagnosed. I like the wide brim hats with the feathers and flowers on them. I did see a cowboy hat all dressed up with flowers, feathers, veiling and ribbons once and it actually looked great. Didn't buy it though as it cost over $300.00. I do favor large brims that swirl up so I can wear it to the side or straight on with some veiling. Not sure where to look on Etsy in terms of category though. If you have any ideas, please let me know. I somehow ruined my most favorite hat that had a big swirl up in my favorite color purple. The brim got bent somehow, and I tried to moisten it and reshape it, which turned out not well at all. Into the garbage it went. My husband also wears hats all of the time and our group of friends call us the 'lid kids'! LOL! It's so much fun! Thank you for this video. It was great!
Thanks Peggy! I search really vague things on etsy and just settle in with coffee and go through dozens and dozens of pages of results looking for gems really . I'll search like "1950's hat" and just go from there ha
@@TheClosetHistorian Thank you!
Okay but the gold feather headband is very Tilda Swinton in Hail, Ceasar in the best way.
This is a most excellent compliment and I thank you, her outfits in that film were killer! Especially the rainbow hat she wears 😍
Love all the hats. I had to laugh when you said you felt like a bank robber in an old cartoon when you put on your mask. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks that. 🙂
I also didn’t know what casein was, so I googled it. It’s a fiber made from the protein found in milk (weird, right?) and is apparently often blended with wool (for what reason, I’m not sure. But one of its primary uses is in hats, which I found fascinating 🧐
Maybe it helps keep the shape and strength?
Yes! If you will do all the hard part (research, study, experiment, make, refine) and learn how to make those, I will definitely be here to watch. I want to make them, but I don't want to do ... I'm not making myself look good here, am I. But.....
Yay for hat making! I too would love to learn to make those 50s style half hats!
Wonderful....love your collection.
Your descriptions are Hilarious...in a good way.
Went to an antique mall, hunting for shelving, and had to pass up some BEAUTIFUL hats that were a good deal, simply because I don't have space at home. There was a stunning velvet bud/rose wedding hat and a particularly unique black velvet cloche hat with white feathers at the very top of the crown, not all the way just the tip of the crown, and a dotted net on top, not quite reaching the brim. The most impressive part was the preservation!!! I would have bought the cloche, it was so stunning and I think 17$ but I just don't look good in cloches ;-;
Hello there! I so enjoy your videos about your vintage hat collection. Recently I went through my hat collection and I took a picture of the top of one of my old hat boxes for you. I’d like to send it to you, but I don’t think I can as part of my comment. Can I?
I can vision the feathery headband with a dress made out of similar gold/black fabric as the bow with some black gloves and other black accessories mayde?
I also think black suit with gold gloves/ shoes...I'll work on it ha!
@@TheClosetHistorian ooohh that'd be awesome too!
Had to finish watching today.
Thank you for saying who the maker was so informative.
I collect hats also..but by designer not so much by color.
Just got a John Frederick's hat box.next to impossible to find.
Please post hat updates when in the mood. Wishing you good dates and fun times.
* love the ironing board.
John
Gen-Xer here. There is no way I or anyone I knew would have worn a hat like the one you thought might be from the 80s in the 80s (I graduated high school in 1985). *Maybe* the fashionable rich might have, but I doubt it. Bows, headbands, yes. Hats? Not so much. Except for those channeling their inner Boy George.
Just discovered you and enjoy watching you create. Watched your video about sexuality. My feeling is you
be you. I will be me. No judgment . You sound like a person I would like to know.Honesty is of great value. Will continue to watch and enjoy your channel😍
Why Not a Hat? has a video about making those springy wire hat fasteners you like!
This one here: ruclips.net/video/9i0J1uvPWeg/видео.html
Hi! Thank you for showing your collection! I found a seller on e-bay in Australia who sells rayon hat netting. I really recommend to have at least a look. They are gorgeous. Dseeking on e-bay.
Bianca, I have a few hats in my collection that don't really fit and I was wondering if there was a way to stretch them out? They are mostly made of straw or of a material that looks like straw. I find that I don't wear them because they give me a headache from being too tight.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Cathy from Alabama 🥰
I enjoyed your hat collection very much. I had a small vintage hat collection but sold most of them. I kept my 2 favorites. I also have vintage silk flowers and vintage hat magazines still. I am planning on finding a new home for those few items. I will let you know when if you would like to have them for your collection.
You inspired me to get a little black 50s hat. Dangerous...
Yes! I get asked all the time about how I wear hats. I always tell them you just have to get used to yourself in them. I have been wearing hats for 23ish years. I wish I had more true vintage ones.
I need to know more about this street fair in Denver. It would be worth the drive from Colorado Springs.
It's called the Paris Street Fair Market, and the best are the June and July ones as they have the most vendors! Not sure how this year will be though 😬
I have a strong desire to make new fancy silly 🎩 it’s a problem.
This show and tell was totally fun and very interesting. I only wish we had been able to see close-ups of some of the hats which had unique designs or materials. But beautiful to watch anyway. Thank you for sharing!
I need like a tv show with camera A and camera B but I'm not that cool 😅
I love hats!!! I want to start making my own. Have you tried magnetic lashes? They don't need glue which means they are softer on your natural lashes. There are two types, one clamps either side of your lashes (which I don't recommend because of what you said) but the other type you use magnetic eyeliner and then the lashes attach to the liner!! Its so easy and they don't even affect my real lashes.
Hey there, I love all of these hats and would love to see you do a video of all of your favorite movies or TV shows to watch for inspiration. Any that you think the costumes really show off the 1940s style. Thank you for all that you do!
I'm not sure if you know this, or if someone else mentioned it, but it's funny that you mention the rust colored hat from Lazarus Cincinnati, and say it's very Carol, because that movie was filmed in Cincinnati. Which is my hometown. lol.
just binged these two hat collection videos, wonderful content! i love this chatty style and of course all of your hats are fabulous
Thank you Sara!
i love the gold feather headband, it really doesnt come off as too much on screen..
Thank you! I like it al lot more here with my hair curled, as when I first tried it on my hair was straight and it did nooot work as well ha 😅
i love hats. I have alot and every time I wear any out ....old men come up to me and take off their baseball cap and say do you want to swap? I always say yes and the old men always laugh. And then they will say - You look like my wife or keep wearing hats.
Protein fiber is any fiber that comes from an animal source. Silk, wool, fur, or feathers.
Waving at the hats I passed on to you - awesome to see them and hear about your detailed information about hat construction and history. Please I want to see how to make the ringmaster hat!! And any other hat!!!! I loooove seeing someone who has about as many hats as I do!!! Love the collections management series!!!
Thank you Thea! I filmed a bit about the brown tassel hat too but my camera had stopped recording so I missed like 2 hats and that was one of them! The other was the felt and feather hat I wore for the into/outro 😅
I’ve always loved hats, but have never been brave enough to wear them. I feel inspired by your gorgeous collection to try!
Thank you! Try it out! Even if people get taken aback, I always just figure I've added a bit of fun and whimsy to their day and that's not a bad thing 😂
Could 'protein fibre' be gut? Like guitar strings? 🤔
Jealous of your freedom to express yourself^_^🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦈🦈🦈🌠🐕
I believe caesin/casein is a milk protein which was used to make a plastic type material often used to make buttons. X
Looked up protein fiber. It can be wool, hair, fur, or silk.
What do you recommend wearing to my daughters wedding
You’re rocking the feather bunny ears!
My grandmother got married in a stunning pale blue suit, and still fit into it on her fiftieth wedding anniversary! She got married in the early fifties
Not many could get away with that one! I bet she looks just as stylish both days!
31:24 you called ringmaster May be my favorite this video.
I hope you find someone, you are an amazing person and deserve to find happiness in a relationship. Thanks for the video.
Yes Yesss
❤ Thank you!
I enjoyed this two-part tour of your hat collection. It is a wonderful one and everything suits you very well. A few of the hats reminded me of hat styles from different countries. The floral one reminded me of Ukrainian folk dancers and the black one with a feather, I think it was, reminded me of the Scottish Glengarry caps. I own a few ball caps but that’s pretty much it, but I do so love to look and listen. It’s fun to imagine what kind of past lives your vintage hats may have had. One might have been out sipping champagne in a night club, all decked out in matching accessories, or maybe perched atop a well coiffed hairdo, out for a Sunday drive while imagining what the future will bring. Or maybe another could have been worn by the fireplace, in a ski lodge cabin while flipping through one of those Montgomery Ward catalogues and sipping hot chocolate. When one is alone and can’t travel or leave the house these days, one has to rely on trips of the mind! 😅 💜
P.S. I like the thumbnail picture you chose for this video. 🥰
Thank you Penny! ❤
I do not wear hats. And yet. This video? It tempts me.
⭐️ 7:22! time stamp ha ha I need to make one of those! I really love most star 🌟 or things are star-like.
I'm going to spend way too much mental energy imagining what I could possibly decide to wear on an imaginary cocktail date with a woman who lives across the continent, to an imaginary super cute independent restaurant with amazing non-alcoholic drink options in stunning glassware, and an overall utterly superb vintagey aesthetic, and lighting conducive to lovely photos of the outfit you're rocking, in absolute safety.
Which is kind of great actually, because my imaginary wardrobe and sewing skills are of course quite excellent, the only challenge will be narrowing down the options.
and in the imaginary version no one has to work out where to park or wait for a table, all good things lol
I love just hanging out with you, going through your stuff. That sounds creepy.... :P I love hats. I find orphans at thrift shops and bring them home.
Thank you! I love looking through vintage stuff too so I get it 😅
I think that first hat needs to be named the harpy hat
Love love love your vintage hats…
Even in a thumbnail, your eyebrows are scary! “Vintage” is one thing, but such heavy, drawn-on-looking brows are just too much. If my strong reaction is offensive to you, I think maybe you still need to hear it, because I am not alone.
Alas, I do not give a single shit what other people think of my eyebrows ✨
I definitely think you can get away with a gold & feather head dress. Loved all your hats, must start wearing my collection.
Thank you Minette!
OK first things first, I LOVE your hat collection. I'm working on mine, but the combination of my giant noggin and a still-evolving personal style are making it rather interesting. It's an adventure, and so far I'm enjoying it.
Now to the question you asked. Gold feather headband: CAN you wear it? Absolutely, if you believe you can. I'm a big fan of doing whatever makes you happy, and fuck what anyone else thinks.
Thanks Shannon! I love His Girl Friday, but I do not remember a bobbing hat, a good excuse to watch it yet again lol
Would you please break down the HAT RING? Is it hinged? How does it lay in the hat? How is it attached? How can I make my own?
I use the same method in some reproductions here ruclips.net/video/mI5aleRUDuk/видео.html ✨
Hello good to se y 🧕🏿🧕🏿🧕🏿🌷😇🤓💕
Yes! Make the Slytherin hat!
I'd love a hat like the "flower crown" @ 4:46. Can anyone tell me what keywords to search when looking to get one in this shape? (complete hat noob here) I'd also love to see your progress of trying to make one! That would be a project I'm interested to try as well.
Honestly the best way to find hidden gems and bargains is to actually be quite vague in your search terms 😅 So say simply search for "flower hat", set the filters to "vintage", and put on a podcast perhaps for a good treasure hunt
