Prairie bonnets were worn for protection from the Prairie sun and wind. The styles were so varied. I have surfed the web and found several different styles and fabrics.
Hello! I found your blog by googling "Sweet Annie". LOVE the music! Very fun. Enjoying your pictures, too, especially the ones of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I loved reading those books to my kids.
I just love them! During the harsh years of taming the prairie, girls and women depended on their bonnets!
ReplyDeleteYes they did- very ladylike back then!
