Headwear For A Night Out


Karadimos

Recommended Posts

It was a popular fashion to wear (not just wigs or hats) but headpieces to various functions. It could be something like the extreme pouf of a wig with feathers or something as exciting as a ship in the hair. I know that you'll probably say "Hey, pirates weren't wearing party dresses!" and I'll reply with "Not even as a deceptive measure perhaps in an unfriendly town?" I have heard of a guillotine headpiece and I thought I knew where a picture was, but I can't find it. It was worn to a beheading. Anyway, have fun with these images.

I'm trying to set up a real Pirate-themed town...somewhere. I need some help with it.

True. Pirates did not wear such styles as these. Women would even be hard-pressed to wear such hairstyles, too.

I don't know if they wore such styles before 1720, I haven't seen etchings that show these outrageous styles yet. Sterling or Cheeky or Mary may have found something we all missed. I think these styles were post GAoP though.

There are other types of styles used that are appropriate for the GAoP for women and Ladies of Status.

Here's a couple of threads already that's struck on this topic: https://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=15677
