I had no idea my High School Lunch Lady was such a Fashion Plate.

lol Now, we know.

Lovely ad. Surprisingly, those hair net styles are pretty neat.

I like the lower one. I see them at Renaissance Faires, too.

Maybe this was before hairspray? I can't see wearing a hairnet unless I was going to be outside and all the curls that I set the night before and then slept on were going to be blown out.

I guess with the flower or the ribbon on top, they're supposed to double as hats.

how is this not a snood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snood_(headgear))?

I think these are being called nets because they're smaller and more flat. It looks like the one at left doesn't go all the way up, as a snood would. Here's (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qrnTSUbsvmQ/TDmU2xZNeCI/AAAAAAAABlc/Q6H8xdow3DA/s1600/snoods.jpg) another Lily Dache ad that includes both nets and snoods that might make the way they're using it clearer.

I adore snoods. Or half-snoods, whatever these are. So handy and comfy!
