How to make a head bag to protect your vintage garments from getting make-up on them and to protect your hair-do from getting mussed with quick changes of costumes. Many types of period dresses have to be pulled over the head. This type of organza bag with a drawstring is perfect while pulling the dress over you head to get it on and even off. I patterned it to have plenty of space for larger hairstyles like 18th and 19th C and even Edwardian. You can use the pattern and shorten it, if you only need to use it with smaller hairdo.
