Hi Aylwen, I would love to see your images for embroidered pillbox hats. I've not looked for those specifically, but have wondered what they did look like. Long ago, I made a sparkly beaded pillbox hat that I wear once in awhile, but I didn't base it on anything period at the time.
And I've not seen any embroidery in images for flat caps. For women, I've really only seen a few images of women wearing any sort of flat cap, and the ones I can think of off hand were Henrician. If you do find any images to support this, do let me know. I also have an embroidered flat cap that I first made when I first joined faire, and I just made it for fun, not historical accuracy (which I didn't care about then).
