How to Make a Proper Headress

I had a headress made to go with my pink African dress.  I found a sweet lady at the Marian Market to make it for me.  She was so tickled that I came to her shop.  I picked out the stiff, shiny fabric and she went to work making it on a wooden head held between her knees.  The headress is held together with pins.  I just put it on when I am ready to wear it.  I need to find a hat box to store it in to keep it safe.

She was so surprised when I requested to have a picture taken with her also.  A crowd gathered and wanted to see my digital pictures on my camera.  All the ladies were smiling and sharing in the fun.  She also sells wigs and hair extensions.
