Me again!
It seems to be also a coif of some sort. It's also written crespine. I
don't know if we have the same cr?pine as the one you're looking for,
but in French, that's what it means.
However... logically, it comes from cr?pe, or the verb cr?per, which
can mean to ruffle or pleat in some instances, so I don't think it
would be far-fetched to think it could mean a crinoline or something
of the kind.
I wish I had dictionaries with me here!
Good luck!
Audrey
Could it be a ruffle to go around the bottom of the pannier?
