Ann
Albrizio, Osnat Lustig, Classical Millinery
Techniques: a Complete Guide to Making and Designing Today's Hats,
Lark Books, 1997. Professor Ann Albrizio started the Millinery Program at the Fashion Institute in New York. This book is a labor of her love and commitment to millinery and to her students. Professor Albrizio's technique is tactile and intuitive..."trust your eye". The book is an invaluable source for learning about classical millinery technqiues, which are otherwise difficult to learn. If you want to go to FIT to learn the art of millinery, but can't get there, this book is the next best thing. |
|
Mildred Anlezark, Hats on Heads, The Art of Creative Millinery, Kangaroo Press, 1990. A complete presentation of basic millinery technqiues, with detailed instructions. Techniques for making crowns and brims are analytic/geometric (contrast with technique ofAlbrizio, above).

Juliet Bawden,
The Hat Book, Creating Hats for Every Occasion, Lark Books,
1993. Buy The Hat Book from Amazon. This book claims to be about hats for "every occassion" - and it is. It has all sorts of hats and techniques, and can be helpful. |
|
Dilys Blum, Ahead of Fashion: Hats of the 20th Century, Bulletin of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, volume 89, 1993. This is a catalog from an exhibition in Philadelphia, and is a great source for historical hats. Excellent pictures of great hats. But - alas - it was published as an exhibition catalog, and is not available now.

|
Denise Dreher,
From the Neck Up, An Illustrated Guide to Hatmaking, Madhatter
Press, 1981. For quite a few years this has been a standard book on techniques for millinery. It is careful and detailed, and is a must for costume and theater designers. |

Maureen Reilly
and Mary Beth Detrich, Women's Hats of the 20th Century, Schiffer,
1997. Published for hat collectors - lots of pitures (with prices). If you like looking at hats, this is a feast. |

|
| Jeffrey
B. Snyder, Stetson Hats and the John B. Stetson Company, 1865-1970,
Schiffer, 1997. Most of us think of Stetson as a man's hat, but this book shows more: a full picture of industrial hat making in the age of hats...men's and women's. It has engrossing pictures and details about the process of making felt, and other aspects of hat making. |
