My mother has ordered a new bonnet, and so have I;
both white strip, trimmed with white ribbon.
I find my straw bonnet looking very much like other people's, and quite as smart. Bonnets of cambric muslin on the plan of Lady Bridges' are a good deal worn,
and some of them are very pretty; but I shall defer one of that sort till your arrival.
~Jane Austen to Cassandra, 1801

Molly Though not technically in the Regency period, Molly is based on the bonnets popular a few decades later during the 1820's and 1830's. The longer, wider brim and flat coal scuttle crown differentiate it from it's earlier counterpart seen in Elinor.
