Although Kris tries to make her items as historically accurate as possible, she believes that there are some "modern" things that make our lives easier...most hoods were attached with ties under the chin - but that can be rather uncomfortable so she makes her Hoods to tie in the back at the hairline. Secondly - usually Black Velvet was used for the veil - she uses black elegance because it is lighter weight and not as hot!

Each French Hood is hand created for each customer. Your headpiece will be made and shipped out to you in 4-6 days from receipt of order and payment.

This is a special order item and so does not fit into our flat rate shipping fees - please choose your shipping service.The use of "Hoods" in general had been used in England for years - but it is believed that Henry VIII's second wife and Elizabeth I's mother, Anne Boleyn brought the FRENCH Hood style of headwear back to England following her service at the court of the French King.
