American Girls' Clothing: Chronology -- 1860s Headwear

American girls headwear 1860s
Figure 1.--Here we have an American CDV with no accompanying information. The red ruling, pose, and clothes date it to the 1860s. Note the girl's plain rounded-crown hat weith limited decorationm and long streamer.

We see a range of headwear. Rounded crown headwear seem poplar and were worn by girls and boys. The hat itself was plain. Both boys and girls wore plain rouned crown hats. Girls also wore decorated versions. These hats often came with stremaers which could be quite long. Girls could have epecilly long streamers. We also note girls wearing bonnets in the 1860s, but we are sure yet about overrall headwear styles. Mothers wanted to show hair and thus headwear is absent in most photographic portraits.
