Modern Millinery

A Workroom Text Book

By

Hester B. Lyon

Published by

The Millinery Trade Publishing Co.

in 1922

Up for bid is another lovely CD Republication of the original "Modern Millinery: A Workroom Text Book: containing complete instruction in the work of Preparing, Making and Copying of Millinery, as actually practiced in the most advanced trade workrooms" with NO RESERVE!"

We scanned and reformatted a scare original and are pleased to offer you this wonderful antique millinery reference for your reenactment, recreation or botique sewing pleasures!

This CD reproduction has scores and scores of line drawings and numerous photos of the most deliciously feminine chapeaux in its 200 pages! It includes instructions for making the many hats displayed in the listing collage and many more. There is a large variety of needleworking techniques included in great detail. I hardly know where to begin!(Original is NOT for sale)

This is certainly a huge source of historically valuable information and inspiration for the creative millinery and fabric artists out there who recreate the hats and headdresses from the early 1900's. This is the perfect opportunity to purchase your own version of another wonderful craft instructional revealing our heritage from early America and European cultures!
