I saw a request on another list for instructions on how to make a Daughter
of Charity cornette--sometimes called a "butterfly" headdress or "sailboat"
headdress. Some folks call it the Flying Nun headdress even though it's not
the same as used in the TV series.
I know I tried finding instructions a few years ago but came up empty. There
isn't a motherhouse here in Atlanta either to contact. I emailed someone in
Emmitsburg but they didn't have instructions either at the time.
I am looking to recreate a DC habit for a reenactment group here as a
Civil-War era nurse but the cornette is the only thing I haven't figured out
how to do yet. I do imagine it would require very starched linen over a cap.
Anything would help.
Thanks,
Debra
