Cones / Steeple Hats
Steeple-Hats, Long hats, described by
[Phillip] Stubbes ...as, "pearking up
like the sphere of shaft of a steeple, standyng a quarter of a yarde above the
croune of their heades, some more, some lesse, as please the phantasies of their
incontant mindes."
- from James Hlliwell's Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words, 1855
Hats in the Reign of Elizabeth I were MANDATORY for the lower and middle classes. Steepled hennins, were popular in the mid to late 1400’s.
Our steepled cone hats, or "princess hats", are brocade covered canvas with a nylon veil. We put a small hair comb inside to help them stay in place and use velvet ribbon for ties that feel good under your chin.
