The Art of Creative Millinery
No-one need feel timid about attempting to make a hat, if the excellent step-by-step instructions in this book are followed. The instructions are simple and clear, in pictures and in words. Each detail is carefully explained.
Basic millinery is covered, from felts, through stitched hats and straws, to the bridal headdress. Shapes dealt with suit heads from infant to grandma. Instructions include trims and suitable interlinings for millinery fabrics.
Mildred Anlezark deals clearly with the elements of design - line, direction, shape, size, texture, value, colour and then the principles of harmony, contrast, gradation, alternation, balance. In simple fashion she explains the uses of repetition, radiation, unity, and dominance, in millinery design.
