Widow's cap
A widow’s cap (or mourning cap) a sign of mourning worn by many women after the death of their husbands, it was a sign of religion and social significance.〔() Wheeler, H. (2012).

== History ==
The Victorian age was named for Britain's Queen Victoria. Victoria took the throne in 1837 and died on January 22, 1901. Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, died of typhoid in December 14, 1861. For forty years Victoria was in mourning. She fully mourned for three years and dressed her whole court the same way. The Victorian era reflected the Queen’s prudence and her personal taste in mourning.
Victorian mourning fashion aimed particularly women, widows to be more exact. The fashion had a way of isolating a widow in her time of need just as Queen Victoria had done. Mourning attire was the main way to show how wealthy and respectable a woman was.〔() Pennington, J. (2012). Victorian Hair Art : A Curious Way To Mourn. The Curious Collections of Barnabas Dire.
