Okay, no time to post but here are some nifty pictures of the plum dress and the coif. Oh, and I am also wearing the apron with the drawnwork, and the proof-of-concept for the mantelline.
The hat though, I am not sure I like. I think that I look like a pencil top, but I decided to post it anyway. If nothing else, for the amusement factor.
I also think that the bun was too low in the back of my head and the coif looks a little bit weird. I'll do it a bit higher next time. It still looks nice though.

There's something about the hat... Should it come down on your head a little more? That's what looks off to me, but that could be my modern aesthetic talking since I know very little about late period headwear.
The hat and the coif, I still need to play with. I just plopped it on my head before heading off for Dun Carraig, and I wanted my picture taken. I am also wondering if the black one I have, which is a little bit larger and heavier, will look better with this getup.
Lovely
P~
Anyway, we're splitting hairs. The entire outfit is just fabulous!
:-D
The hat is cool - I think that it looks too tall to our modern eyes, but they wore some d*** tall and pointy hats back then. Oh, and we need more close-ups! :)
I will definitely be posting more closeups, and I need more pics of the dress without the cape. And I definitely need to update my page! Badly! :-)

I think the hat is just a smidge too wide, and that's why it looks not quite right. Still, too cool that you have it at all.
Must go sew!
I think that the hat looks great by itself, but it sits a little bit high over the coif. I have been looking at other images, and it looks like they did wear them high. I think I'll experiment a little bit more with it, or wear a larger hat. I have a black one that might do the trick.
