We've had a rather good week this week, with a post about Dressing History appearing on Austen Only and being tweeted about by Amanda Vickery!
Thank you to everyone who came to see us at the Jane Austen Festival! We had a wonderful event, both at the country fair at giving Bonnets to Boots. All of our Past Patterns range of patterns is now online, and we will also shortly be offering an exciting new Standard Range bonnet form!
