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! KP
