For my 1900s gingham wash dress, I’ve sewn this white cotton and lace maid’s cap with long streamers.

Some caps had long streamers as in this photograph.

The cap is just a circle of fabric with broderie anglaise lace round the edge and a bias-cut casing for the drawstring. Here‘s a similar antique edwardian cap. Because the cap is flat, it can be quite easily ironed.
