Frilled headdresses

 

Items can be commissioned - please contact Gina should you wish to discuss your requirements.

 

The following images are from my experiements in creating a frilled veil edge using narrow wares. This paper is part of a group study - Trimmed with Frills: Crimped, Frilled and Ruffled Edges in Women's Headwear from Medieval to early Modern Times - organised by the Medieval Centre. The paper is due to be published later this year.
