Brooches are massively under appreciated as an outfit booster. That big silver leaf could sit well on anything from a dress to a beret, the little jewelled initials used as an alternative to the more usual collar points, the possibilities are endless. I'm partial to a brooch as a boutonnière or just in a hat band, especially if it matches the cufflinks I tend to be sporting. They have this ability to fine tune the era or look of an outfit too. Definitely a fan of this sort of content.

Oh my those are beautiful; your taste is exquisite! By the way...I've loved your taste in arthropod-related fashion ever since you were making that magnificent Cicada gown, and you were right the first time; those two golden insect pins are True Bugs of the order Hemiptera (specifically of the shield/stink bug shape....I worked for a while at the Royal Ontario Museum but dealt more in Zoology than Costume, which I mildly regret). They are not beetles, which are of the order Coleoptera. It's an easy mistake to make though, as beetle species are so common that *one in every four animals is a beetle!* By by the way...on that subject, I am reminded of the opening of a British wildlife documentary I saw as a child in the 80s: "I asked the professor what, after a lifetime study of the creation, he had to say about the mind of the Creator. He replied, *'An inordinate fondness for beetles.'* "

I got too close the side of her face and through a confluence of events managed to close my eye ON her earring with such force that I pulled it out of her earlobe with my eyelid. We managed to untangle me from the earring (carefully) and thankfully no damage to my eye other than it being very watery, and ending up with a minor eye infection the next day, but I'm a lot more careful nowadays and my girlfriend was rather scarred by the whole incident and doesn't wear the pliers anymore.

Goodness gracious the sizes are awesome. I sold accessories in a very high end department store in the 1980’s. It was a big thing to pin a gorgeous silk scarf up to your shoulder with a giant Monet brooch. I actually use my brooches on my hats. I have a lot of plain modern ones (that fit my HUUUUGGEEEE head). So I tie a scarf or ribbon around as band, and then use one or more of my brooches, sometimes using the brooches to pin huge flowers onto the hats. Most of the antique hats I own are tilt hats, because, um, HUUUUGGGEEE head. I adore looking at people’s collections. Your style in brooches is very different from mine. I am Victorian/Edwardian/Nouveau/Romantic - unless it is rhinestones and then I don’t care as long as it is huge! I’ve had to learn jewelry making to get the giant shoulder duster clip earrings I love to wear. Is it a large earring if it doesn’t hit your shoulder? LOLOL!

If your looking for ideas on how to wear brooches beyond pilling them to hats, scarves, purses, and such, my grandmother has been known to keep some plain chain necklaces that she'll feed through the broach turning it into a kind of pendant. So if your willing to wear necklaces but not brooches that can work and if the occasion arrises where you want to wear it as a brooch you still can.

Hi Bianca, thank you for doing this video this is right up my alley. i’m pretty sure I sourced a suit to the Carol movie, but it’s not that one ❤️

Ohh I’m excited for this! I took a frame 🖼 and put some foam backing and then I covered it with some old purple velvet I had that now I can look at, and made myself a display for all my brooches 🌟 and I realized it’s not completely full (ha ha) it’s a long narrow like a picture frame and I did buy a set Ancient Egyptian - replica brooches and I’m always looking for more of those and of course some really fun 🌟 star type styles I can’t wait to see what you have. Then need 1940s Art Deco to- 1950s to wear with pinup outfits!
