Victorian Hair Receiver
Click on picture to see more detail.
The advantage of this hair-receiver is that it can be washed. It is made of white linen embroidered and bound with white linen braid. For part of its length it is cornucopia-shaped, 11½ inches around the widest part at the top. From end to end it is 14½ inches long.
The space above the cornucopia portion is curved, its narrowest measurement being 2½ inches. The cornucopia buttons into shape in two places at the back. By carefully observing the illustration and using the measurements here given a pattern can be made with no difficulty.
