Also to clarify:
I really do respect and admire all sorts of styles. Whether its gothic lolita or some sort of boho chic. I think people who have defined styles that they clearly enjoy and put effort into are AWESOME regardless of the style itself.
My thoughts on the majority of modern vintage inspired pieces has everything to do with my personal style and what I want to invest money in/wear. I didnt mean it to be accusatory to anyone who wears those styles. In fact I follow a lot of people who embrace the rockabilly 1950s style and think it is great. Its just not great for ME.
ALSO I know I used the word tacky - I dont think I use that word in as negative of a way as some people (I use that word to describe my decorating sense for example). I use it more as Overwhelmingly over the top which isnt how I like to dress. But that doesnt mean it is bad!
The last thing I would want to do is make anyone feel bad about their style. Because that is a really personal thing, and if it makes you happy then Im happy for you!

![Altering a Straw Hat Tutorial / For Historical Costumes
Not sure how many people this will interest, but it was a fun video to make! This is a cheap and easy way to turn a modern straw hat into something more suitable for 18th century costume. And these methods could be used to alter straw hats for a bunch of different periods.
Materials used:
16” Straw hat from Michaels
The flowers are all from Michaels too
9-12” ostrich feather from Jo-anns
The lining fabric is part of an ikea curtain, and the bow fabric is from fashionfabricsclub!
Photos of the hat worn: https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2016/07/08/1790s-round-robe-photos/
