Although I try to make my items as historically accurate as possible, I do
believe that there are some things that make our lives easier! Most hoods were
attached with ties under the chin, but I find that very uncomfortable so I
make my Hoods to tie in the back at the hairline. Secondly,usually Black
Velvet was used for the veil. I use black silk elegance because it is lighter
weight and not as hot!
