Wimple Wednesday: Cap With Folded Brim, Early 17th century

Lace-edged cap with turned-back brim, c.1615-1625, from Patterns of Fashion 4. The shape is almost identical to two children's caps of 1608 and 1620 in The Tudor Child.

I rather like how this cap turned out.
 I'm still working out how to best fit my hair until this cap; the coronet braids seem to work best, but I need to fine tune the placement. And then persuade them to stay put. I'm enjoying the lace, though.

Even if it looks silly because my hair wasn't cooperating.
The cap is made from a single piece of 3.5 oz lightweight linen from Fabric-store.com, the lace is from The Tudor Tailor store.
