Clothing/Dress/Costume
Woman's morning cap of white cotton percale, trimmed with a sheer lawn ruffle. The crown is gathered on a drawstring that ties at top of head, and another at the back of the neck. Two sets of ties attached to corners of brim: one set ends in angled blunt line, other set is longer and rounded (likely decorative, not to actually be tied). Hand sewn.
