Well, this is really fascinating, because I read about it as a part of an 
ensemble worn to a Regency ball -- not a particularly young woman, but also (I 
believe), not of the old, turbaned dowager variety.  I can't imagine such a 
thing being worn w/ a formal ballgown, and (although I don't claim to be a 
scholar by any means!) it seems especially incongruous w/ a high-waisted 
Regency dress in a light muslin or silk.  (I'm not sure where I saw the 
original reference.)  I had pictured something more like a Juliet cap -- have 
you ever seen such a cap on a woman, or in such a context?
   
  Thanks for the image search!  I'll have to explore using that more!
