Cap
notes: label: Description
content: A cap of fine muslin with couched “coronation” or Victorian braid. “A cotton braid, round and graduated from the thickness of coarse cotton to that of a small embroidered leaf in satin-stitch, which indeed it much resembled when worked. Some beautiful articles braided in this material, collars, sleeves, etc. were to be seen in the Exhibition of 1851, but though common enough until that time, it has never since been procurable.” The Lady’s Manual of Fancy-Work by Mrs. Pullan, N.Y. 1859, p. 200
