That is lovely. I love making the accessories because they bring the clothing to life

[@ThePetticoatedSwashbuckler]

Thank you! I absolutely agree, they do so much to lift an outfit!

[@ashfordwyrd7458]

It's just the front edge of the hood folded back to show the lining possibly with a strip of beads and or pearls pinned on top.

It is perfect.
The gems sparkle almost as brightly as you eyes ;)
Thank you for sharing, history and all!

Thank you! 😊

[@NatalieStearns]

Beautiful job!!! Thank you for really making it clear what the steps are. On a separate note - what song/music did you use for this? It's so pretty!

[@ThePetticoatedSwashbuckler]

Thank you! The song is called Renaissance Castle, if I remember it correctly 😁

[@oxo1239]

Called a bonnet and frontlet. Thank you!

[@ThePetticoatedSwashbuckler]

Those are definitely names in use, yes! ❤️ But there was no definite «dictionary of dress» in the period, so there are a gazillion names about for pretty much anything you could wear 😅

@@ThePetticoatedSwashbuckler Interesting. All I know is what I have gleaned from reading some of the sources.

[@Love_Kea]

What pattern did you use?

[@ThePetticoatedSwashbuckler]

I used the pattern and instructions in the Tudor Tailor book 😊
