    So glad you've joined us!
    Do you have any bonnets you can use as a pattern to make more? If I remember the one my MIL made, the bonnets were either lighter or darker than the dresses, probably depending on what fabric she had on hand. For the neck just find a pale peachy pinky fabric that is more or less skin colored.

    Can you send a photo of what you have? I have a Southern Belle pattern that is about 16" tall. She has an umbrella and a bonnet.
