Bonnets, Bonnets, Bonnets.

Hey everyone! A while ago, I got interested in bonnets. Not the sattelite-dish AP ones or the floppy BTSSB ones, but bonnets akin to Innocent Worlds or Victorian Maidens. I think they look great with many different face shapes and hairstyles and look great with sweet or gothic.

To get to the point, I've began making my own. I'm currently creating my first one out of a natural straw with a variety of white vintage laces, roses and grosgrain ribbons. Hand stitching everything on is a pain in the ass, but I want it to look as nice as possible. I'm going to try making another one soon, but covered in a thick, durable fabric.

I plan on selling this first one as a test to see how well recieved it is (I'll be posting pictures when it's finished if anyone wants me to.) If it does sell and people are interested, I'll definitely be making more. (:

So, I come to you with questions!
1. What kinds of styles would you like to see? Gothic/Mourning, Country, Classic or Sweet?
2. What kinds of trims do you like? Lace, tulle, pom poms? Anything!
3. Are there any specific bonnet shape you like? Because it's straw, I can shape it almost any way and make the brim shorter if necessary.
4. Maybe you don't want a bonnet. Maybe you'd like a normal straw hat decked out with lace and flowers and maybe even an ostritch feather! Y/n?

Answering these questions will enable me to create things that will satisfy your wants/needs! Thank you so much. :D
