Our pretty ribbon hairnet features a coronet of variegated shades of blue folded-ribbon, highlighted with blue glass beads and finished with blue bows. This style of ribbon is also known as "ombre". The net is of blue satin ribbon beaded with glass beads constructed over a layer of simple tulle which helps keep the hair underneath neat, in place and stop it poking out of the head-dress. A metal headband, which is encased in the coronet, provides a comfortable and secure way to keep the net on your head. Rolled elastic at the nape of the net, allows for size adjustment. The net will fit over most head sizes and hair lengths.
This is not only a nice way to complete your look, but a practical way to hide a shorter hairstyle. (The mannequin head shown has hair no longer than 3 inches all over)
This hairnet is based on one shown in Godey's Lady's Book, March of 1860. This net is appropriate for civil war re-enactors, living historians, and others looking for a period correct Victorian or Elizabethan/ Renaissance look. It would also be a good item for workers or volunteers at historical sites. What to do with your hair is often one of the harder parts of reenacting. We think this hairnet offers a great solution.
