So it's fanchon, not fauchon? Is that the part that turns back or the
separate layer that goes over the top?

there might be a lining in the head portion. In another similar hood
in my collection, this inner cap is of wired straw, oval-shaped, and
is set ear to ear.

Does anyone have this book? I'm trying to pattern the hood on page
63. I started out with a simple hood and figured it looks like it is
drawn up in the back to form the pleats. If so, I can't figure out
what holds it in place other than a fitted lining underneath and that
just seems more complex than it probably is, but maybe I'm wrong.
It's from the 1850s-60s before the complex bustle draping came in.
If you don't have the book and are interested in looking at the
picture, I can take a photo and upload it somewhere. Do we have a
place for this list to do so?
