The Canterbury cap is descended from an ancient headcovering originally worn where?
Canterbury cap The Canterbury cap is a square cloth hat with sharp corners found in the Anglican communion, similar to the Counter-Reformation's biretta, the notable exception being that a Canterbury cap has four ridges, compared to the biretta's three. It is also soft and foldable, "Constructed to fold flat when not in use..." whereas the biretta is rigid. The Canterbury cap is the medieval "birettum," descended from the ancient "pileus" headcovering. It is sometimes called the "catercap."
Cape dress A cape dress describes a woman's dress which combines features of the cape and the dress. Either a cape-like garment is attached to the dress, or otherwise integrated into its construction, or the dress and cape are made to co-ordinate in fabric and/or colour. Cape dresses were traditionally worn by (conservative) Mennonite women. Unlike the prayer (head) covering, the cape dress never became part of dress regulations. Besides its historical associations with Mennonite dress, the cape dress has become part of fashion vocabulary.
