6 French hats from 1886 journal La Mode Illustree and some how I don't think we shall see these particular styles return in the near future. Not my cup of tea but in the day would have been thee hats to be seen in. I think the ladies all look quite haughty except for the first picture she just looks confused.

La Mode Illustrée 1886
Sunday and another vide grenier and to my delight, thanks to my DH as he was looking at a vintage set square, he called me over to have a look, no idea why he thought I would find it interesting! But so glad he called me over, for on the floor in a box was a journal of a full year’s worth of La Mode IllustrĂ©e which was dated 1886. The journals were sold each Sunday for 25cents and each issue featured a description of Victorian fashions and related accessories. So I will share some of the wonderful plates in this journal. I have taken a selection of hats for this one but there are many other fabulous finds in here so do come back to see some more.
