Drafting a 16th Century Tudor French Hood Pattern | Part 1

16th century French hoods, as they are modernly known as, appear to have had multiple layers to them! So, before starting this sewing project, I first wanted to do research and measurements for my patterns.

Follow along as I explain the different layers that make a "French" hood. I have included the patterns and measurements that I will be using to start my prototypes for this combination hood.

Did you know that the "French" hood was simply referred to as a hood and was worn by English, Scottish, Flemish, Spanish, and French alike?

Hi, ive just come across your series on thr french hood. I just wondered if you had any images of your bonnet/coif prototype without the seam at the top? Also whether you'd be willing to share your patterns? I know theyre in this video but itd be hseful to have an image of it on the grid to draft from. I'm hoping to experiment with late elizabethan hoods so trying to look at as much as possible!

[@LynneFairchild]

I have videos online of these items. My coif video is at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/laitqo2mbtimgtk The hood pattern video is at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4i1g4CLqL18bNU The basis for my coif prototype with pictures can be found at: www.marquisofwinchesters.co.uk/living-history-guide-coifs-and-hair/ Irina Lubomirska has a great paper online with hood patterns at: frenchrenaissancecostume.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-French-Hood-14-Jan-2017.pdf Hope all goes well with your 16th century hood experimentations!

Why can not Holyweird manage the correct hood construction? They are very well paid!

[@LynneFairchild]

I agree. Some movies and documentaries are better at historical accuracy than others.
