Description: 1860's style woman's white lace day caps. The caps are available in three designs: long lappets, short lappets and self-fabric or lace trimmed. I have identified the caps by their design and the color of the ribbons. The cap you see is the cap you will receive. If you like a cap but would prefer another color of ribbon I would be happy to change it (if I have the color you need, I have lots of options available). All of the caps are new and each is one of a kind. Such caps were worn by married women, often as a sign of motherhood, never worn by young girls. They are made with a drawstring in the back to form a bag to contain the hair. The face is framed by lace trimmed lappets, lace or lace bands, which are decorated with detachable ribbons, which can be easily changed to suit your dress. Older ladies often favored such caps to cover a thinning hair line, modern ladies can cover short hair cuts with the caps of denser lace. Caps were worn indoors during the day but also could be worn outdoors under a bonnet. To be correct the hair should be "dressed" and not loose in the bonnet. The caps are washable, I recommend removing the ribbons before washing. Note: If you prefer a different color ribbon decoration, please let me know. I am happy to match your dress or accessories (if I have the color you need, I have lots of options available). Please let me know what number cap you would like me to send. Long Lappets: Cap #1: The lace fabric is made in designs of large and small flowers set in foliage. The cap is edged with 3/4" wide ruffled and scalloped lace.
