The mourning cap has attached black silk crepe chiffon double layered weeping veiling.  During full mourning in Victorian times, the clothing the widow wore was strictly dictated. She might wear no color other than black, and the preferred fabric was black crepe. Crepe had no sheen, and had a slightly wrinkled surface much like crepe paper that we see today. She was to wear a widow's cap, which featured long black veiling and  ribbons. After the loss of a husband, the widow was not to leave home without full mourning garb and weeping veil for one year and a day.  Made by Recollections in the USA.
