AJuliet cap is a small open-workcrocheted or meshcap, often decorated withpearls,beads, orjewels, and chiefly worn withevening gowns or asbridal wear. The cap is named after the heroine ofShakespeare'sRomeo and Juliet,^[1] who is sometimes portrayed wearing one.

An article inEvery Woman's Encyclopaedia (London, 1910) suggested:

For evening wear a favourite and becoming adornment for the hair is a cap made after the fashion of that worn by the hapless heroine of the world's best known love story. Juliet caps hold their place as fashions come and go, and, although somewhat expensive trifles to buy may be made up by artistic and clever fingers at very little cost, and shaped to suit individual styles.^[2]
