Isaiah — The gospel prophet — a Judean court-prophet across Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (c. 740–700 BC) who sees past Assyria to Babylon and past Babylon to the Messiah. Sixty-six chapters divided into the Book of Judgment (1–39) and the Book of Comfort (40–66), climaxing in the Servant wounded for our transgressions.

(Verse 23.) And needles, and mirrors, and linen cloths, and ribbons, and shawls. Women have needles, with which the arrangement of their hair is secured so that it does not flow too freely and become scattered. They also have mirrors, with which they contemplate their appearance and add to their adornment if anything is lacking. They have linen cloths, which are called coverings, and ribbons, with which their hair is tied, which are called ταινίας. They also have shawls, which we can call pallia: with which Rebecca herself was covered.

The glasses,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)reformed
The glasses - There is a great variety of opinion about the expression used here. That ancient Jews had looking-glasses, or mirrors, is manifest from the account in Exo 38:8. These mirrors were made of polished plates of brass. The Vulgate and Chaldee understand this of mirrors. The Septuagint understands by it a thin, transparent covering like gauze, perhaps like silk. The word is derived from the verb to reveal, to make apparent, etc., and applies either to mirrors or to a splendid shining garment.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)evangelical
But the Septuagint, a transparent, gauze-like, garment. hoods--miters, or diadems (Isa 62:3; Zec 3:5). veils--large enough to cover the head and person. Distinct from the smaller veils ("mufflers") above (Ge 24:65).
