My guess is that the danish winter and the huge rooms on the mannorhouses
could be quite chilly in the mornings, so a hood could be quite usefull.
Men wore caps on their heads when wearing banyans, so why not a hood for the
ladies..............

Hi,
This outfit was used to wear from bed in the morning until you had
finnished
your toilette.
It was timeconsuming to get your hair set and also to make your morning
toilette, so this outfit was used.
It was common to have visits of both ladies and gentlemen when you made
your
toilette.
