Tights, Bonnets, and Commissions! Oh My!

Hello!

I'm a long term stalker admirer that is just coming back to the fashion and I have 3 questions that maybe some of you can help me with!
Alright on to the questions!!

1.) Tights. I have pair of tights that have a print on them, just some fancy print that reminds me of the Victorian era (correct me if I'm wrong lol). The issue I am having is the color. They are not a navy blue but a grey navy blue? (the print is black) I have no idea what this color would even come close to! My question is, when I'm matching them up with an outfit does the color have to be dead on? I know that you can never get the color 100% to match up but how far can you let it slip?

Here is the photo, but its more grey.

2.) Bonnets. The question is for those who have or dealt with bonnets that don't have a sturdy brim. I had bought a bonnet a long time ago (ok I'm a random Lolita hoarder, so what o.o) that has beautiful lace but I cant seem to get the brim to stand up. I've tried roses, it just flops over them or one side just stays up and starch (almost a whole large size can!). I'm to scared to take it apart and slip sturdy brim with out some help. Any ideas?

3.) Commissions. Alright I've been doing some research on finding someone who can do commissions, I've looked at the list of seamstresses but most of their names are marked out or they wont answer my PMs. How often is it updated it?  I would like to work one on one with someone who lives in the east coast of the USA, if possible.

Thank you in advance!

<3, Red
