I looked at it, too, and a suggestion would be to cut it out as they suggest, and then try to put the parts together using the picture as a guide, before you try it on fabric. It looks like once you have it cut out, and looking at the picture, it might make more sense. Good luck with it and let us know.

might be cheaper in the long run to buy one off ebay?

My Mom was a nurse. Her cap was actually a heavy piece of cloth in the shape of a rectangle with small convex curve on one long edge. She would heavily starch it and then shape it into the proper cap shape for her school. Different schools had different style caps. I think nursing students still have pin ceremonies, but I don't think they do caps anymore. My Mom was from the day of dresses only and white from head to toe. If you find a cap today that's stitched together, it may not be authentic.

My mom was a nurse. She says the caps are called a "dignity". She would have us scurrying to find her dignity before she went to work. Very Apt.

Each school of nursing had their own cap style. Of course if your program closed then you could purchase a regular run of the mill cap. Just copy from the older nurses as I think most of the programs not longer have caps.
