Thank you for all the suggestions, folks! Wow, I knew I'd come to the right place! :-)
Regarding turbans--what size of cloth do you need? What would have been used for turbans? And how do you wrap them? Our GFD's are designed for cooler weather--the fall/winter gigs. Most of the group is in wool. Because I'm allergic to wool, mine is a heavy cotton twill lined with linen. If you'ld like to see others, the ladies who made them can be found at www.gotgarb.com .
