Whereas hat-making is purely the manufacturing of hats, millinery refers
to the designing and creation of hats and is considered to be an art
form in its own right. This antique book comprises a step-by-step guide
to making drawn bonnets with flat and raised grooves, and capotes in
general. An accessible and easy-to-follow manual sure to appeal to
discerning students of millinery, this little book makes for a great
addition to any collection of antiquarian millinery texts. This antique
book has been elected for contemporary republication due to its
educational and instructional value, and is proudly republished here
complete with a new introduction to the art of millinery.
