British Regency Caps 1780 to 1820

Pattern by: Counrty Wives

View A, B, & D are seen very frequently from the late 18th to early 19th century by laboring to middling sort women. View E is a cap worn by working class women shown in many of Pyne’s British sketches. View C is an unusual example of a naive American young woman of about 1810. These styles of caps often were adorned with silk ribbons in bright pastel colors in widths from medium to quiet wide.
