Text Box: Mabel's Bonnets - Isabella c. 1690 This type of cap became fashionable when the sides of earlier, smaller caps lengthened into streamer or lappets and the front was formed into several tiers arrayed as upstanding pleats or flutes.  This French fashion displayed to advantage the fine laces and silk ribbons which resulted from the investment by Louis XIV's finance minister Colbert in the production of luxury goods in France. Height: 14 inches Cost: $250.00
