Dannielle Perry, historic milliner and author, began participating in Living History in 1995. After spending many years carefully creating her own impressions, her interests turned to millinery and in 2006 she opened Timely Tresses with partner Mandy Foster. To fuel her research, Dannielle is an avid collector with over 200 extant bonnets, over 200 antique photographs of women wearing bonnets, and over 1000 antique fashion books and engravings. A graduate of North Carolina State and former teacher, Dannielle is author of Fashionable Bonnets: from the Introduction of the Ambrotype in 1854 through the End of the American Civil War in 1865, Finishing and Straw Bonnet Form, and Drawn Bonnets: Examination and Construction. She is the managing partner of Timely Tresses. Timely Tresses is a premier source for museum quality reproduction bonnets and millinery supply.
