Austentation DIY Blank Regency / Victorian Caroler Style Red Felt Bonnet

Description

In came a fiddler with a music-book, and went up to the lofty desk, and made an orchestra of it, and tuned like fifty stomach-aches. In came Mrs Fezziwig, one vast substantial smile. In came the three Miss Fezziwigs, beaming and lovable. In came the six young followers whose hearts they broke. In came all the young men and women employed in the business. In came the housemaid, with her cousin, the baker. In came the cook, with her brother's particular friend, the milkman. In came the boy from over the way, who was suspected of not having board enough from his master; trying to hide himself behind the girl from next door but one, who was proved to have had her ears pulled by her mistress. In they all came, one after another; some shyly, some boldly, some gracefully, some awkwardly, some pushing, some pulling; in they all came, anyhow and everyhow.
Charles Dickens
A Christmas Carol
The first time I saw these bonnets, they reminded me of Kitty and Lydia's walk to Meryton, in Pride and Prejudice, however the style works for Early Victorian fashions as well. Once I had them, I just had to try trimming it up with white fur and holly (see second image). Isn't it just perfect for a classic Mrs. Claus or even Mrs. Fezziwig?  My husband says it reminds him of the movie White Christmas, but I can see it on Victorian Carolers, too.
This would also be great for any Dickens/Christmas activities you might have planned. I carry these bonnets in White, Red, Burgundy, Green, Brown, and Black. They are sturdy and take decorations very well. This listing is for the plain bonnet, as shown in the first image. If you would like a trimmed version, feel free to contact me about custom colors and trimmings. I'm always happy to try something new.
