Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could wear instead? A
coif is unsuitable as I will be with other people, not in a domestic situation.
The Tres Riches Heures has a few scenes with ladies in gowns and
headdresses, there might be an alternative for you there. April and
May have the scenes with the ladies. One is wearing a padded,
stuffed roll with no veil. It's a few decades earlier, but I think
it will still look ok with a houppelande.
Ooh, thanks - I'll go and look at my pix of that - thought it would
be too early. I think on the SCA Atlantia site I have seen a
"pillbox" type hat on the back of a head, worn with a houppelande,
and I could cope with that too.
I looked at the Atlantia site earlier today, and there were pages and
pages of headdresses, but I didn't bookmark it - stupid or what - and
cannot find it again. Anybody have the site address for the pictures?
I can find all the text pages.
