It has the crochet instructions for a band, a crown, and the veil, then instructs you to place "a hat ornament" on the crown. That's all it says in the materials list: a hat ornament. The picture appears to have some ribbon flowers in that role.

I've only really ironed modern veiling, which is nylon and that works very well. I would want to be more careful with vintage, of course.

We didn't discuss season, so I might have to research that, but I think any. I guess because it would be for evening, it would be indoors mostly, so you would wear your coat with them but only on the way to your event.<br /><br />I'd like to make more daytime option ones like this one, although veiling is somewhat inherently fancy I suppose!Tanithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915557658875958630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753730293874291295.post-77320350662682257672015-02-04T16:26:12.026+11:002015-02-04T16:26:12.026+11:00Thanks Beta!

I have a vintage whimsy (although I didn't know that's what it was called until I read your post!) with a big pink bow on top. The veiling is stiffer than modern veils, and I'm afraid I packed it for a long trip and it got bent out of shape. Do you have any experience with reshaping veiling? I don't want to ruin the whimsy, but it's no good to me if I can't feel confident wearing it!<br /><br />Naomi<br />teenyboppinalong.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753730293874291295.post-82529671807205138992015-02-04T09:51:13.150+11:002015-02-04T09:51:13.150+11:00Gorgeous!

Actually, I think that I made a hat once that might technically be counted as a whimsy. maybe? I'll have to see if I can dig it up and wear it for a Valentine's Day outfit... <br /><br />Your "Bumblebee" whimsy is super sweet though Tanith. I wonder if you could do like a tea party/picnic whimsy to match? I'm thinking red gingham, a little teapot and teacup with a saucer type thing...

This idea and your designs make me long for the summer months. I could put a fun veil and some extras on one of the felt hats I just made. It wouldn't be a traditional whimsy, but in these frigid temperatures it would be the best I could do. <br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.sheknitsinpearls.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">She Knits in Pearls</a></b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321740673038769138noreply@blogger.com
