#historical fashion #historical costuming #dress history #Fuck it #Give all sixteenth century men nineteenth century bonnets #It would do them good #They'd be so busy with the trimmings they might not have time to start a religious war #As for sixteenth century women #Let them have Victorian bonnets too #They deserve it #This actually goes for flat caps (bunnets) and Scots bonnets too #It's a bit irritating to have to specify that I mean that all the time- if I'm saying a Yorkshire farmer is wearing a bonnet #People should probably be able to infer from context that I mean a 'flat cap' #But still it's not an issue #A little more Regency and Victorian headgear in the world what's the problem
