The actual sewing on my cap is done, now I have to sew in the wire and see if my idea on how to do actually work when it is applied. Very exiting... You can see a previous post on the subject
here. I have also found an article on just earlier 18th century caps at
A Most Beguiling Accomplishment. Here is also a few extant caps. None of them are wired, but wire must have been easy to remove so you could wash the cap and perhaps it was also removed to change the look of the cap.
Three lace caps. The first is just dated to the 18th century, but I think it is quite correct to assume that it should be dated to around 1750.
