Used for warmth on chilly walks or carriage rides, Victorian winter bonnets are super cozy, practical, and stylish. They come in a variety of materials and trims.
This one (#3 of 3) is made of silk satin, with lots of self-fabric pleats, braiding, and bows. The interior is a soft, cozy cotton flannel, with additional fabric (probably more flannel or perhaps felt) between the layers for extra warmth. The bavolet (neck-protecting peplum) wraps all the way around, and the hat closes with both hook&eye and button&loop, beneath your chin.
Fiber/Care: silk with cotton flannel lining
Labels: none
Condition: As the photos show, there is damage to the back of the bonnet. Still wearable as is, but the damaged area could be hidden/eliminated replacement silk satin. The rest of the hat is in good shape. I imagine the original wearer's head resting against seatbacks during bumpy carriage travel.
Dimensions: one size fits most adult heads
