Female caps from the 18th century. The linen biggin on the left is British and from The Met in New York. Biggins were caps worn alone or as a foundation under another headdress. Although, children most often wore them alone. And on the right, from the V&A, is a cap made from crochet linen or wool.

Delicate bridal wreath. The frame is made from wire; wax flowers and beads serve as adornments. Because of the wire, the elements move and the headpiece appears to shimmer and flutter.

Traditional male karakul hat from Ukraine. It is gray, which was estimated more than common black ones. Such gray karakul hats were usually worn by young men and grooms, older males used black hats. Today, Ukrainian men don’t use them anymore.

Exquisite late 19th – early 20th century women’s hats. On the left, we can see a French hat from 1902 made of cotton and silk. And on the right, there is a French hat circa 1898 made from silk metal rhinestones. Both of these hats are from an exhibit at The Met.
