1937.8.1Description
Semi-sheer white cotton cap. The cap is made from finely woven cotton with a float pattern forming small dots. The cap is made in two parts: the crown and brim. The crown is gathered into small pleats to the brim at the center top, and is cut wide, allowing for volume. The wide brim angles downward at the bottom edges. There is a self-fabric ruffle pleated around the entire edge. There is a narrow drawstring along the base of the crown. The brim has a rust-colored liquid stain on the proper right side, close to the wearer's ear. There are no traces of starch.Context
