As we saw in the previous post, fashionable hats could make a bit of chaos if going to a theater. Hollinshead advised, "If a large hat is worn to the theatre, common courtesy demands its removal that those in the rear may see the stage." Which was a lot nicer than what he had to say about those who would dare to wear any sort of hat to the opera! After calming the rage induced by the mere thought of such deeds, he advised that for that location, one should only wear "a tiny bonnet, a dainty confection of tulle, flowers and ribbon."
