Pleated cap

Huizen had two different types of headwear: the cornet headdress and the ear iron headdress. Adult women wearing the ear iron headdress wore a lace cap on an ear iron on Sundays. During the week, an isabee (everyday cap) was worn. It has the same impressive shape as the ear iron cap, with a high front strip above the forehead.

Girls aged twelve to eighteen wore a pleated bonnet with the ear iron bonnet. This was worn over a black underbonnet, so that the beautiful lace was clearly visible. The dome and the pass (the transition between the dome and the lower edge) are made of embroidered tulle. The lower edge is made of Beverse bobbin lace and the finely pleated front edge is made of machine-made Beverse lace. After 1940, more and more girls in Huizen started wearing civilian clothing and this costume disappeared from everyday life.
