Going out on a limb here. It looks similar to something I have. I have a bonnet (used during my baptism) that converted into a handkerchief to be used on my wedding day. I will dig it out and write a blog post about it within a few days. Be on the lookout at http://genblogjulie.blogspot.com/.
ReplyDeleteCould be a small tie back for kitchen curtains?
ReplyDeleteDorene and Julie, Thanks for the input as I have no ideas. Julie, I'll keep my eyes open for your post.
ReplyDeleteIt serves as an insert under a V-necked sweater. The top end is pinned at whatever height you feel is fashionable. The bottom is tucked in. Once in place it supposed to look like a blouse under the sweater. Some are adorned with buttons or ribbons to dress it up.
ReplyDeleteJulie, Dorene and Nan, Thank you so much for your suggestions. I have been having fun trying out my "item" as a tie back for kitchen curtains, as an insert for under a sweater (it would be perfect for that even today, especially with some buttons added) and visualizing it as a bonnet (I don't want to take it apart).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post on your blog Julie. The picture really helped.
