| The coif has a fun, pointy brim. I'm just sad thinking about the June Rebellion. |
I made this up in lightweight linen (Fabric-Store.com's 3.5 oz stuff), double layer construction, but without wiring the brim. As with the Henrician coif, I decided to see how it would hold up without the wire, and add it later if needed. I used a mid-weight linen on the first one, so it really doesn't need the extra structure; this one, being lighter, could use it, but a good ironing also works.
The pointy side flaps are different, but I like them. The huge variety in styles of coifs and caps through the centuries, never ceases to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteI am still trying to figure out how I could pull one off in my everyday life, but I get enough questions about whether I am Amish, as it is.
