A printed catalogue for The Underpinnings Museum’s exhibition, ‘Lingerie For Your Hair: Can Hats Be Underwear?’.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
‘Lingerie For Your Hair’ examines the boudoir cap, an oft-neglected piece of lingerie with immense historical significance. The garment saw immense popularity in the 1910s and 1920s, a time of great social change: as women navigated changing attitudes towards sex, class and social status, the cap became an invaluable accessory. This exhibition charts the evolution of the cap, and explores notions of sex appeal and the concept of ‘the boudoir’.

‘Lingerie For Your Hair: Can Hats Be Underwear?’ also includes feature essays by Sophie Grapentin examining the evolution and social significance of the boudoir cap.
Combining our exquisite collection images with fascinating extended essays, our A5 catalogues are printed in full colour on 130gsm silk finish paper. A must-have addition to the digital library of any lingerie or fashion history enthusiast.
