jeanoflochiel:costume series: medieval fashion in period drama → snoods (crespines and cauls cont.)The snood, like crespines and cauls was a thick hairnet made of gold, silver or silk thread, shaped like bags. Instead of being worn on the sides of the face it evolved to confine the hair at the back of the head. During the 14th century, the snood changed in designs and materials. Thicker cords replaced fine threads and the nets were decorated with ribbons, beading and other accessories. Later, woven nets were made to hold chignons or buns in place while still showing the hair. These nets came in plain or decorated designs. [x] -- source link
