Hi,
I'm interested in making an as accurate as possible replica of the Wicked Witch's hat, based on this auction description:
Wicked Witch of the West hat from The Wizard of Oz - Prop Archives : original movie props, screen used wardrobe
I managed to find some black wool bunting fabric from Classic Attire - offering period-correct costumes and reenactment attire, which the auction description says it's constructed out of. I'm just wondering in anyone has any thoughts or experience regarding what else the hat might be constructed from, like if it's made on a buckram base.
I'm really looking for any suggestions at all to make the hat as accurate and great as possible. Advice where to put the brim seam and how to sew in the "steel hoop" (which I think is hat brim wire, millinery wire?) would be appreciated.
I found a realy old thread on this topis but none of the pictures work anymore, so if anyone has any I'd love to see them.
I'll post progress pictures too.
