Photo by Ernest Dollar 2010 		 The Eliza Coretta
1860-1862
 A three-piece bonnet with a flared brim.  The Eliza Coretta includes the circle shape popular in the very early 1860's and the first high brimmed bonnet which appeared in the fashion plates late in 1861.

Note on the tip: Even when it appears flat on extant bonnets, the tip is a blocked piece placed into the headpiece.  Our forms are constructed using this technique.  The pattern does not require a separate blocked tip, but flat and rounded blocked tips are available for purchase.
