In middle age , any lady doesn't matter her rank should wear something to cover her head.Only child have the privilege to not do it.This one is not historical but looks good.
I first made a band of fabric to fit around my head and another to fit from the head and pass under my chin.Both band are cross over my ears.A squarre made the piece that go under the chin and are attach on the side by snaps .The major piece is a rectangle great enough to cover the head and hang in the back.It is fix with pins to the band, one in the front and one on each side of the head to make the pleat you see or I add a gold metal circlet.
Idid not use any pattern , only my imagination to make it.The fabric is silk suede or satin (light fabric)I can't remember with an embroided chiffon .It's not historical but it do the job perfectly.
And by "one of us passes for a nun", you mean me, right? :P
