Of course the originals have seen are round and not oval. The leaves (flaps) are held up in period by a stitched tacks, hook and eyes, or tapes, usually two for each leave.

Re: [h-cost] What's on the horizon
That is so interesting, Penny. Thanks for sharing. ALmost makes me want to go back to school to study it. Seems fascinating. Has to be very expensive though. One thing occurred to me though. The virtual model has that typically 1950s wasp waist that is incredibly small. The butt is pretty big too. I went back to look at the real model they designed from and noticed that she is not built like that, so they obviously did some enhancing there to achieve that 50s look. I know that women were able, with the help of corsets, to get those small waists, but I never thought anyone could get such a tiny waist until I saw Vampira. You wouldn't believe it possible unless you saw her.

Eastern Daylight Time, celticredhead2...@yahoo.com writes: Those wig head stands usually have a very small circumference,too * Oh...I forgot to addsometimes after you turn up the brim, the size is a little smaller than when you started. You may want to start with a slightly larger hat. I made some great looking bicorns for comedia del arte characters out of cheap big straw hats I got at the beach T-shirt shop and covered with velvet and silksusing the straw hat merely as a base. If you do something like this, the fabric also makes the hat smaller (especially the velvet...for obvious reasons). And if the hat has nothing to stabilize the crown, it is a good idea to put something...a grosgrain ribbon or a leather band...on the inside...which also makes the hat smaller. Also, once you've pinned up the brim the way you want, if you can steam the hat before you lacquer it, it will help the felt or straw want to stay in that position. I have an old hat steamer with a big brown glass bottle you fill with water, you flip the red jeweled switch and steam shoots out of it like crazy. But a clothes steamer or an iron with vertical steam can be used. It just takes longer. You could use a kettle. Be careful. Don't burn yourself! **A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
