Heritage only has meaning as a bridge between a culture of the past which bears witness to the past and one which remains to come. Headdresses testify, they are readings of women's lives, of their identity, of the great moments of their existence: childhood, puberty, marriage, births, work, ceremonies, death of loved ones and daily life. t is also to measure the effects of a globalization over several centuries which gradually dissolves dress codes, identity, to open up to the city and industry, then to fashion and today to a world standard. With a simple veil, a small cotton cap or a sophisticated hennin, every woman, whatever her social or religious affiliation, had to cover her hair… Some dates: 1789: the abolition of privileges opens access to the port silk, lace and embroidery became possible for all women, regardless of their social background. 1870: the absence of men forced women to save time: needle cutouts disappear to make room for mechanical lace. Anecdote: the wearing of the short skirt would have been initiated by the Vendée in order to attract the few remaining men.At the beginning of the XIXth century, the simple utilitarian role played by the cap worn by the peasant women, will replace a real code cultural and social identity of the woman.This development will begin with the restoration, around 1815 and the war of 1914 will end the decline.The headdress is made up of four main elements: The bottom of the headdress, generally the most decorated part , was protected from the hair by an undercap, the hair was pulled up in a bun. The pass, cord placed around the cap. The lite, in tulle, lace or embossed muslin bordering the pass. This part was called “straw” because the corrugation was carried out, after starching, with rye straws. The ribbon, brocaded silk, faille or moire, it is used to hide the drawstring. Before the appearance of embroidery, headdresses were not always worn with ribbons. A headdress is a fabric of various shapes, often embroidered in whole or in part, worn by women to cover their hair. The headdress is a form of cloth headgear worn by women. Formerly intended for the dual use of concealing the face and hair and protecting the head, the headdress has become a fashion accessory in the civilian sector. Headdresses are found in most of the French provinces. Some only concern one municipality in a region.The headdress is now part of the folk costume, but also of the costume of certain religious orders. I remain at your disposal for any questions.
