Frelange Cap
Go to Nottingham City Museums

Thought to be the only one still in existance this frelange cap or headdress of white linen has a tall handmade English or Flemish bobbin lace frill. A wire frame was worn to support the lace above the head – at the time the height of fashion. 1690 to 1710.
