Ribbons
(click on titles to see products)
Original ribbons were most often made of silk.  For Regency bonnets, ties were usually two to four inches in width.  For midcentury bonnets, ties were usually four to six inches in width.  It is very difficult to find wide modern ribbons or silk velvet ribbons in any width.  To achieve the look of the period, we offer the best ribbons available to us.
