Regency Bandeau Headdress

Create a beautiful, packable headpiece for your next Jane Austen ball! Mela will guide you in designing a bandeau headpiece suitable for all hairstyles. Choose from a single, wide band accented with pearls or jewels, a narrower, double-band adorned with ostrich plumes, or a triple-strand “Grecian” style. Learn how to curl feathers along with several ways to fasten them to your headpiece. Samples will be available for you to try on before choosing. Your kit includes:

• Choice of base (single, double, or triple band)
• Choice of trimmings (gold, silver, pearls, rhinestones, colored gemstones)
• Choice of ribbons for covering the base and for adornment
• Jeweled decoration
• Elastic for optional back closure
• Optional white ostrich feathers (small additional fee)

Student supplies:

• craft scissors
• white thread
• hand sewing needles (milliner’s needles recommended)
• needle threader
• needle nose pliers to curl feathers (optional)

Basic hand sewing knowledge is helpful, but Mela will include a bit of glue for those who are so inclined.
