Originally published in 1926, this rare millinery book contains 213 pages of hat making information and techniques. Jane Loewen was a millinery instructor at the University of Chicago and her book is laid out as a teaching guide complete with detailed instructions. She also designed hats and created patterns for the CA Loewen Co in Chicago which appeared in The Milliner Magazine in the 1920s. Over 100 diagrams and photographs help explain the hat making process, with many of the images depicting the hat styles in vogue in the mid-1920s. With so many hat styles displayed from a 1920s hat designer and teacher, you will get a first hand idea of how to recreate these same designs for either vintage looks or modern day hat designs. Fifteen chapters detail the following (with chapters subdivided into hundreds of informative parts): Wire Frames; Molded Frames; Pattern Frames; Crowns; Staple Millinery Materials; Cutting Materials; Fabric Hat; Braid Hats; Transparent Hats; Draped Hats; Tailored Trimmings; Dress-Hat Trimmings; Cleaning and Remodeling; Color Harmony as Applied to the Individual; Line Harmony. Filled with inspiration, ideas and professional instruction, this book will make a great addition to your millinery collection and provide you with endless design examples to spark your own creativity. The line drawings throughout will give you an accurate 1920s guide to trimming your hats, different hat styles and important techniques such as edge-wire finishing, cording a sectional crown, molding a braided crown, winding a wire frame with maline, draping a harem turban, pleating ribbon, finishing a feather stem with cord, using a tie-tack stitch for tacking flowers and feathers, and so much more. Sample content and illustration images are shown at the top of this page.

This review is from: Millinery -- 1920s Hat Making Techniques (Paperback)
This book is very good for the person that is looking for ideas and inspiration in vintage hatmaking. The pictures of vintage hats were good to get your imagination going. I would have appreciated more pictures showing details of technique as opposed to written word.
