The Lavinia Ruth
A family of bonnets spanning the late 1840's to the early 1860's. The bavolet juts from the bonnet points to the middle of the bonnet and rounds the crown. 

The Lavinia Ruth is available in four levels of depth and flared to span the 1840's and to the early 1860's.  The pattern includes a 20 page instruction booklet complete with detailed illustrations.
Available in silk over buckram  untrimmed from $135 or trimmed from $185.  Straw forms available in 1/2" hemp braid for $85.  Straw bonnet lined with bavolet from $140 or completely trimmed for $190.  Please email us for further information on straw forms and custom bonnets.
