First i am not sertain if the word is coif or hood, i am talking about the head dress worn for the lady i am going to recreate: http://www.my-drewscostumes.dk/br2.htm What i can't figure out is the linnen part that peaks out from the black pearl coif. To me i cant figure out how it can bend out in the oval sides without bending in again at the ears, is it the painter who made something wrong or how on earth is it done? Can someone explain to me please? I have ben so fortunate that a grave found recently found in Hørby Kirke from 1600 had a coif excactly like this i am going to make, unfortunately i am not allowed to publish it yeat, because they want it to be published at the website called: http://www.livinghistory.dk/- I have just printed out the pattern in the right size and i guess i am going to use the same pattern for the under linnen part, only slightly bigger. I am very excited to start this projekt, and i must go hunting for pearls on monday for the embellishment. I have planned to use some of my gold pearl purl also. It is a lady named Ester Grølsted, who made the pattern draft after original wich was red silk.
