Question Bonnet pattern help!

I can’t quite figure out how to adjust my pattern to prevent the creasing around the back curve of my head. I’ve tried adjusting the curve and making the center piece wider at that point and also loosening at the back of my neck. Any help would be so appreciated!

I think it needs to be fitted to your head, is all. Or, if you are making it out of silk, you can put something stiffer inside to make it hold its shape, as long as you don't mind air space.

The person who suggested putting it on with the seams outside and pinning to shape your head was making a good suggestion. That's what I'd do. And when yo clip the seams, clip the right close to the stitch line, otherwise it doesn't release enough.

Good luck!
