Teach this woman millinery use them. technique, and you have a milliner. I'd like to qualify this statement by BUCKRAM saying that a good milliner has a real interest in and love finds satisfaction in she her If you are going to make your own frames, you must use buckram. Willow hands; that she has the patience for painstaking work; that she has some gift of imagination plus. some common molds more easily, but does not have enough body to make a. satisfactory frame.

CRINOLINE MILLINERY GLUE Crinoline is lighter-weight material, with a simple basket weave. It looks like stiff cheesecloth. It has less sizing in it than buckram, and is used as stiffening or in frame making. We call it “crin.” Millinery glue is used for gluing fabrics. It holds securely without injuring or staining materials. It is also used for gluing feathers and flowers, and in the making of some ornaments. MILLINERY WIRE Gluing There are a number of sizes and kinds. You will find the heaviest paper-covered wire (No. 19 or No. 21) useful for many _ different hats. You can bend and adjust this wire. For a stiff straight brim (sailor or cartwheel) you will use steel wire ~ a wire that will not bend. It is joined together by a wire joiner. If you cannot make purchases at a millinery supply house, perhaps your local milliner will sell ~ or give — you a joiner.

Hold the tube of glue close to your hat brim and squeeze out a few drops of the thick and heavy glue.

BR ih Ws | ae \ ee MS heys ae ae See on Ee Cx ( Be by Bh ee Perse * Chapter Jhnee MILLINERY MATERIALS There are three general classifications of millinery materials: (1) felts, (2) straws, and (3) miscellaneous hat materials. Each of these classifications requires a different working technique; and as you proceed with your millinery lessons, you will learn to apply the correct method _ to your particular hat. The procedure will hold true whether you are working with new or old materials. “To successfully re-_ make a dress you must first know how to make a new one.” This truism applies also to millinery. A felt requires no frame; it can be styled over a block; it can be made in different colors, weights, and finishes; it will shrink as well as give in blocking. Three kinds of felt are available. They are made from three different basic materials: fur—usually rabbit—wool fibres, and cotton fibres. In addition to these three different types, there are combined mixtures. “Felting” processes are the guarded secrets of their manufacturers; however, all the felts contain a filler or sizing along with their basic ingredients. When steam FELTS and great pressure are brought to bear on Probably more hats have been made of felt than of any other material. Ever since the first English beaver was “invented,” women — and men, too — have been wearing felt hats. (To be technical, the first felts were worn exclusively by men!) 16 bey ° ite “© t the result is a felted material, Fur Felt: Fur felts are the best and most adaptable felts. They are also the most expensive. They lend themselves to hand blocking and draping, and almost any
kind of styling. They may be worn the year around, and if they lose their shape, may be reblocked. If too soft, add sizing (on the underside to stiffen when reblocking or remaking). Wool Fels: eepalad pace dies atade Flat Felt: Cotten and wool felt come by the yard. Fur felt may be purchased ina folded flat piece called “skirting.” A very fine grade of skirting is called “handkerchief felt,” and it can be draped very beautifully Gs a block. It is extremely out of wool felt. Most of them are machine blocked. In fact, it is almost impossible to block them by hand, except on very simple blocks. Usually they are not worth re- a oe co (I mets ee a yee f hat The ie ° Spec nce i oS ie 2 a . a re ee a ' - : were Ghia te pay eae and up for them.) Pre-Blocked Shapes: Fur and wool felt making if blocking is involved. Wool felt is subject to shrinkage; it is not as soft or pliable as the fur felt. It feels rather harsh also to the fingertips. Use is limited, but it is the basis of millinery mass production. “‘hoods.” These roughly shape of the head and Cotton Felt: This material is the cheapest of all the felts and does not greatly concern the milliner.

We have experimented with the lids of coffeepots, small paint buckets turned upside down, the inner cardboard core of a roll of toilet paper stuffed with tissue you are really ambitious, you can make fancy tips out of buckram or cardboard; many professional milliners do this. Here is a suggestion for making a fancy crown tip out of buckram: 312 Cuta 3¥/-inch circle to use as a pattern; inches, wooden spools, bottoms of cups or sauce dishes turned upside down over the block, empty powder boxes, baking-powder tins, etc., etc. The variety of small lay the pattern on buckram and cut out. Wire the edge of the buckram circle. Take a strip of buckram 2 inches wide and as long as the circumference of the circle cut and until the is length about objects that can be used is endless; (allow for Y2-inch lap in back). the problem is to find things that can be attached to the block. If you use anything metal or china, it is hard to keep it in place Sew this strip to the same wire used in wiring the top section. Use the overcast stitch.

Blocking the Brim: The brims of felts and straws are also blocked. There are many kinds of wooden brim blocks, but they are cumbersome and expensive. Their purchase is not justified unless you are going to make a great many hats all with the same style of brim. A good substitute is your padded bread way. Add more if you intend to turn under the edges of the hat in finishing. Sometimes it is wise to take your crown measurement from an old hat that you have on hand. | want to stress one point here that holds true throughout your hat making: Block your crown on your block as you will wear board. Of course, you will not be able to the hat! If it goes on the back of the head block a Breton or a bumper brim on this flat surface, but there are lots of other styles that you will be able to make. After blocking your crown and letting (this applies also to linings) put your material on the back of the block. If it will be worn forward, block it toward the front of the block. it dry, you are ready to cut the brim from the crown. Where to cut depends upon whether you want a shallow or a deep crown and whether you want a hat that After your brim is cut from the crown, pin it to your padded bread board.

Wool Felts: Old wool-felt bodies are not worth saving for trims; they are too coarse and heavy to use. You can freshen upan old wool felt by reblocking and perhaps retrimming. Even if the crown was made _ ona fancy block, you can reblock it on your own round block. The result, of course, is just a round crown, but perhaps you can add style interest by using a trim. (A substitute block tip, as described in Chapter V, would not be feasible here because of the pressure that must be used Cleaning Hats: In fact, cleaning fluid is the solution for a complete hat that is just a little soiled. Use a little fluid on a small piece of turkish toweling or a small wad of tissue paper which will not leave any lint —use a quick, light, brushlike motion in rubbing.

You will find that the felt gains new life and luster, and__ that the blocking process is also a cleaning process. (This applies to all kinds of felts.) Reblocking the crown usually means that the brim changes shape, and you may Remaking: After you have eliminated the worn-out hats in your wardrobe, it is time to decide what to do with the rest. Consider the possibilities of cleaning, retrimming, mending.

not impossible, to set up ‘general rules’ that will hold true in all cases. The wearing of glasses aways seems to create a problem and lots of advice has been given out about it. The wearers should — or shouldn’t — do so and so. Yet I have known of instances where women who wear glasses can wear practically any style —with or without brims! Possibly NOT the way the hair was dressed, and the uncluttered look of the hats, had a lot to do with the final effects. At any rate, it makes me a little cautious about giving out advice as to what style you should wear. The © way you feel in a hat ~and comments from your friends and relatives ~ ought to be your best guide and influence when it comes to choosing a hat. RULES—JUST COMMON Todt you are tall and don’t want to look taller — don’t wear high crowns. Olt you are short, you can add height with your crown; but don’t exaggerate too much, or you will look shorter than ever. Slt you are plump, be careful of “pinheaded” effects. Your hat can help to balance your complete silhouette. 4, In choosing a turban-type hat, be sure that the width of the upper part is as wide — or wider — than the broadest part of your face. SANE you are small-featured, wear modified styles. Extremes will be overpow- 6. If you have large, prominent features, choose styles that have noticeable dash and verve. Delicate materials, trim, and lines are not for you. 7. If you love big-brimmed hats, wear them when their lines are not spoiled by collars or furs. Remember, too, that they are good-weather hats; they don’t take kindly to wind, rain or snow. 8. Wear hats that are appropriate to the occasion and season. 9. Wear hats that blend in harmoniously with the rest of your clothes. Wear hats — because the right kind will improve your appearance. ering.
