Hipster A&S
Apr. 1st, 2011 08:47 pmOn Thursday got asked if I had any pieces of largesse I could take with me to KA&S. I did not, but I did some brainstorming with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
falashad about what I could make on short notice. After looking through the stash and my usual selection of references, decided I could probably throw together some coifs.
The women's coifs will be Elizabethan, based on the various extant pieces described in Janet Arnold 4. The men's coifs will be based on two boldly patterned silk taffeta coifs belonging to King Enrique of Castile (c. 1203-17) and his brother Infante Fernando (1189-1211), as described in Dahl, Camilla Luise and Sturtewagen, Isis (2008). "The Cap of St. Birgitta", in Medieval Clothing and Textiles 4: 99-142.
I started from the patterns in The Tudor Tailor and The Medieval Tailor's Assistant (men's) and Janet Arnold 4 (women's) and scaled them up onto my trusty yellow plaid practice fabric.
( It's an obscure project; you probably haven't heard of it. )
( I liked this project better before it got so mainstream. )
