[h-cost] womans 18th century cap

[Bjarne og Leif Drews]

I just watched Barry Lyndon, where towards the end, Redmonds mother is 
wearing a small cap wich is made entirely of a piece of lace wich is 
gathered into a rosette in the top, and spreading out on the hair all way 
round.
I have not seen this type in any portraits, but i wondered if it would not 
be very likely someone in 18th century did the same, so simple just gather a 
lace to a cap?
Well its for the red dress i am making, i have promised her to make a wide 
brimmed silk taffeta hat, but for indoors she could wear this lace frill?
