'I Do' Veils - So Can You! : A Step-By-Step Guide to Making Bridal Headpieces, Hats, and Veils With Professional Results
By: Claudia Lynch

Reviews:
Anyone who's ever gone shopping for wedding clothing knows how startlingly pricey veils are. With even the simplest bridal headpieces taking a hefty bite of the wedding budget, it only makes sense to make it yourself if possible. Fortunately, with the help of "I Do" Veils and the wonderful (and inexpensive) lace, veiling, silk flowers and pearls that are widely available, it can be a fun project and not an arduous task. The directions are easy to follow, and for those who don't have a good bridal section in their local fabric and notions store, the list of wholesale and retail mail-order suppliers will be invaluable.

45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit

45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit: Berets, Toques, Cones, Stars, Pentagons, and More
By: Anna Zilboorg

Review:
Anna Zilboorg is the kind of artist and craftswoman who comes along only rarely. Her previous book, Fancy Feet, integrated a unique colour creativity with traditional fiber folk traditions of Turkey. In 45 Fine and Fanciful Hats to Knit, she presents nine basic hat shapes, from a fairly standard (but colourfully interpreted) beret to amazing geometric structures such as an onion dome and a six-pointed star (knitted in two layers). Enjoy breaking the constraints of knitting "normal" hats and set yourself free. For those who really want to follow directions, Zilboorg's charts are unusually clear and her directions are brief and uncomplicated.

Vintage Hats & Bonnets 1770-1970: Identification & Values
By: Susan Langley, John Dowling

Customer Comments:
Comprehensive and detailed - An excellent book for the collector - contains many examples of styles and explanations of milliner's materials and decorations. Comprehensive photographic collection. I would have liked to see a little more creativity in the descriptions associated with the photographs, and some information on famous milliners of the times would have been a good addition.
