Early 19th century day caps

These two early 19th century day caps were made for a museum group in Norway. One features a delicate white work ruffle and the other a cotton lace/ribbon trim. These day caps are meant to be worn during the day inside without any other head wear. They are not meant to be worn under bonnets and do not include ties at the brim.

The back of the caps are hand gauged to create the desired “pouf” at the crown.

About Susan

Hi! My name is Susan and I am a historian, seamstress, teacher, mother, and wife. My passion for history has manifested itself in the art of recreating clothing from different periods of time. Growing up in the American South, I am heavily schooled in the art of recreating clothing from the 19th century. After nearly a decade of immersing myself primarily in the Victorian period, I found the need to branch out and explore other periods of time. However, it is my connection with the American South and the clothing of rural America that continues to be the driving force behind my designs.
