Wimple Wednesday: Elizabethan Hood With Bongrace

Back (once more) to the late 16th century. Cheating ever-so-slightly with a more structured indoor/outdoor headcovering: a hood. The brim is wired buckram, interlined with flannel (in place of the domette), covered in fine black wool, and lined with a scrap of white linen. The back bongrace is pinned up on the top-center of the brim. Design from The Tudor Tailor

The author, in slight profile, wearing a hood. The headdress has an upsidedown U shaped brim (black on the outside, white within), while a trailing black bongrace is pinned up behind.
Still working out the hairstyle. I'm leaning towards the
high back coil, but the coronet braids should have worked...
