Straw bonnet is done...sans trimming

Yay! At long last! I've finally, finally gotten my straw bonnet sewn together. No trimmings yet, but the hardest and longest part of the project is finished finally. I'm very happy with it. It took some finagling, but I did at last get the shape right. I had to use some wiring in the brim to keep it from losing its shape over time. I may actually add two more stabilizing wires. I've seen them in antique bonnets -- just not usually straw bonnets. But since the bonnet will be lined, and nobody will see the wires, then I feel it's do-able and still in keeping with the Old Ways.

For trimming, I'm going to attempt to use some navy blue silk satin ribbon I have which is about 4" wide. I may change my mind and use it for a dress I'm making a friend, but for now I think it's destined for this bonnet. I hope you all like it!! :) Spring fashions are so fun.
