My grandfather was on the HMS Lion during the battle, as a range taker. The Lion’s sister ship was sunk within minutes after being hit in the turret. The Lion was also hit in a turret but survived.

I'm speechless. And very sorry that your country has been taken over by such evil people.

Exactly. And this is why museum funding for clothing and textile collections is critical, so dress historians can study the construction details, textiles etc. Which is part of what I'm doing for my PhD - although in a collection a lot less glamorous than the Met!

Three pattern pieces are provided on the pattern sheet - the crown, the brim, and the frill, which is marked with lines for where the ribbon is placed and the pleating. There are some basic instructions (in French). I’ve traced the pattern pieces but haven’t cut out the muslin yet.
