Tie-less bonnet of white cotton percale. Stiffened around the edges with four rows of thick cording; also stiffened with groups of five rows of narrower cording around the crown and across the brim. The only piecing in the bonnet is the seam between the back and the brim; there is a group of five rows of cording around the seam on the brim side, and four rows on the back side, then a very small circle of four rows of cording at the center. Hand sewn.
