which looks a lot like a representation of netting. It would make sense
for a woman with a lot of hair to put it up in a sturdy net, then cover
it with the fashionable outer "bag" that we see here.
There's definitely some evidence for this idea:

others.
I can't recall seeing any pink netted caps, but it certainly doesn't seem
impossible to me!
I am doing the gathers at the nape of the neck; after trying all sorts of
shaped pieces, the best result I got was an oval with a straight strip sewn
to the edge, and about 4 inches of gathering at the bottom. It even stays on
without pins! I extended the strip into a curvy line over the temples and
top of the head (sorry, hard to describe) and then added on (or will add on)
a separate stiffened piece for the whatchamadoohickey, lappety type piece
with the pearled edges.

(PS--thanks, Suzi; I've got that site bookmarked, but I've got pretty much
ALL the other sites bookmarked too, so I can never find one when I need it!)
