My local English Country Dance group sponsors a Playford Ball every year. This year's ball has sort of snuck up on me - it's coming up in less than a month. I need to start getting to dance practice more regularly.
I have a lovely ball dress that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wcg made for me, an approximate copy of a 1770 English dress which is very comfortable to dance in. The problem is that my hair is resoundingly un-period. I'm not going to buy a period-style wig, so the alternative is some sort of hat or cap. It's hard to find something that will go with my ball dress, but will cover all of my hair - the classic mob cap was, I think, more lower-class than would ordinarily be worn at a ball.
I'm thinking of buying something like this pleated cap. Honestly, this is the only time all year that I wish I had long hair.
