Were pillbox hats around in the Rennaissance? Either way, it is indeed cute

I believe it was still used by the Italian/Spanish at the time. I thought a beaded pillbox would make a good substitute for a crown too since I (even though I play a Princess) don't have one.

Cool.
And yeah, it was a good substitute... The beads and the brocade made it fancy enough, imho

Thanks I may (if I feel up to it) bead the brim of the hat still. After I get the darn sleeves done :b

Ooh beaded brims would make it even more regal!

Beautiful!

How did you manage to pin it to your hair??

2, 3" hair combs (one in the top, one in the bottom) inside the hat. I still want to add 2-4 ribbon loops for bobby pins and hat pins

I tried that with my tiny top hat, and it didn't work so well. Thanks!

The hat is adorable! How do you shape it, make it stiff, etc.? Do you use a base or a pattern or something, or is it all from scratch?

It's no a plastic frame that I made out of (whatever that stuff is called they sell at Walmart for crosstitching?). Totally designed from scratch.
