Cream Lace Day Caps 1860's Civil War Era Style Cap (Hat) Choose from 3 Styles

Description: 1860's style woman's cream/off-white/ivory 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. Each cap is 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 fabric bands, which are decorated with detachable ribbons, which can be easily changed to suit your dress. To be correct the hair should be "dressed" and not loose in the cap. Older ladies often favored such caps to cover a thinning hair line, modern ladies can cover short hair cuts and unusual colored hair. using the denser laces. Caps were worn indoors during the day but also could be worn outdoors under a 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 do have many to choose from.) ******************Please let me know what number cap you would like me to send. ******************************* Long Lappets: Cap #1: Peach ribbon puffs tied with lover's knots and held in place with two roses in ivory and gold colored satin ribbon.
