Authentic Period Correct Sunbonnets for Costume Accuracy
Our beautiful authentic period correct women’s sunbonnets from the western pioneer prairie gives you a bit of nostalgia for the old west. You can consider it a bonus that they also protect your complexion from the wind and sun. No need to use a chemically based sun screen when you can protect your face and neck, keeping your lovely complexion intact like the women in the 1800’s did! I make your sun bonnets from cotton and cotton blends. For that reason, you will find that the low shrinkage factor is a plus in the longevity of your sun bonnet.
Currently, these bonnets are not available. We DO have them, but since our move, they seem to have been misplaced. The newest ones being made will be available and will have Buy Now PayPal buttons for ordering. Sorry for the inconvenience!
These authentic period correct sunbonnets are made specifically for you if you engage in historically accurate plays. You may also find them appropriate for western period history re-enactments and the like. The materials used are not 100 percent cotton. You bonnet instead will consist of cotton polyester blends or other similar fabric material combinations. However, I have tried to source the most accurate types of patterns and colors for these period correct bonnets. Fabric print style of these materials are historically correct. I’ve used muted colors and designs closely connected to fabrics and patterns available from the time period. As much as possible, I have stayed true to the 1850’s era.
Moreover, an authentic period correct sun bonnet fits in period plays, SASS shoots and old time re-enactments. In fact, we fashioned the pattern after an original model. Over time, our adjustments led to a simple 3 piece pattern.
You can try one of these beautiful old time bonnets for your next parade or group gathering. We’d love to hear your comments if you do!
