This lappet style hood is the newest addition to my collection. The exterior uses two different brown stripe silks: one for the brim and bavolet, one for the crown. The lining is a bright blue solid silk taffeta. The ties and back bow are made from the brown stripe silk and the blue lining.
Two brown stripe silks: left is the fabric used for the brim and bavolet, right is the fabric used for the crown.
Exterior and interior views of where the bavolet is attached. Outside the bavolet is carefully lined up to mimic the brim stripe on one side. Inside, the binding on the brim is seen as well as how the self fabric ties are connected.
Self fabric ties use the brim silk and lining silk.
Exterior and interior of the brim fold back. The interior and exterior layers were quilted independently. The exterior was quilted with diagonal rows, while the blue interior was quilted with rows running around the brim. The brim is bound in the brown stripe used for the crown.
