Heads Up

Watch out. I'm immersed in a stash of French fashion magazines from the 1930s - 1950s. Heaven. Je craque!

This milliner's advertisement from 1949 caught my eye.

It must have been inspiration in 1967 for Sally Field's wimple in The Flying Nun.

Other sources claim her cornette was inspired by that of the Filles de la Charité, but I have my doubts...theirs is much more restrained and classical.
