Hats: Early 1800s: Lightweight caps or muslin, linen, lace or net were worn as morning caps, night caps, or under other hats. Jane Austen and her family and female friends would have worn caps like these, sometimes during the morning at home, to bed to keep their long hair from becoming knotted, or under a bonnet to hold a hairstyle in place. But for outdoor ventures, hats were more substantial and for the evening a lot more individual and elaborate. The ties of a bonnet that were secured under the chin vary from the very simple to the quite fanciful.

Definition Empire Style Dress:  Named after the First Empire in France.

Only the very wealthy could afford white dress in this style as the cottons were imported from India and had to be carefully cleaned, usually by a lady’s maid.
