WWII era WASP beret

This was another custom commission. I was asked to recreate a WWII era WASP beret. After much research and a great deal of color debate, here is what I came up with. The customer will add the WASP insignia to the beret.

Drawn bonnet

Here is my latest custom commission- a mid 19th century partial mourning bonnet. It is made of 100% grey shot silk with handmade lavender floral trim and went to a very kind lady in Kansas. Enjoy!
