Kimiko turned me on to this servicce the other day, and it's really great
for getting organized. Also it's aimed specifically at historical costumers,
so
I am looking for a picture or instructions for a late Elizabethan headdress.
I do not want the French hood that covers the ears, rather I am looking for
the fancy roll that sits further back on the head. I believe these were
attached to a caul, but I'm not sure. Any advice/ideas/pictures/links
When you say Late Elizabethan, what do you mean by time period? And do you
necessarily mean English? I have inserted a link below which is Italian, which
is what was brought to my mind when you said fancy roll.
Saragrace
Late Elizabethan, when ladies' hair was often (in portraits, at least)
puffed at the front, and with a cap or something (hard to see because of
course, it's on the back of the head). Often seemed to have quite a bit of
jewelling/fancy work.

Nothing in
Here's a picture of Queen Elizabeth I (1575) wearing what I think you're
describing:

From my understanding, it's still essentially a french hood just a smaller
version so all that can be seen of it is the crescent.
