Regency Turban
The turban, evoking the exotic Ottoman Empire, was a chic head covering particularly favored by mature ladies for evening wear. You will choose from a selection of luxurious fabrics to drape your turban on a buckram base. You will then add finishing touches from a variety of feathers, tassels, cords, and other fripperies.
