In the 6 hour version of pride and prejudice the 2 Miss Bingleys hats look very much like turbans. Ive searched a few times and I cannot find too much on regency turbans. Making my question, were the movies hats/turbans accurate? and any idea how to make one?
If I dont make any sense do forgive me for its very late/early!

I suppose the best way to go abuot it is to build one on a headform, wrapping, tacking, stitching as you go. I know that Thea made one for the February ball last year, and it was quite stunning, and really simple. Two long pieces of fabric twisted together and then tied in a knot in back, and it was quite pretty.    She easily could have pinned a brace of feathers on there as well to really make it look formal; and make a pile of curls in the center of it--also curling the hairs around the face to frame it in curls would be pretty too. It was very simply made. |

Turbans were worn roughly from the 1790's through the 1820's. There are several different ways to make them. I made my own over a buckram frame because I wanted to easily put it on like a hat, but the wrapped scarves method makes for a great look as well. There was a series of articles on Your Wardrobe Unlocked about making turbans. yourwardrobeunlockd.com/ |
