How to Make A Renaissance Hairnet For 16th Century Dresses

Hello Beautiful Humans! CoSy 2021 is finally here and I am so excited to get you started today with some renaissance costuming content. The earliest hairnets I have found reference to come to us from ancient Greece. The mesh work on these is much finer than the net I am going to show you to make today, as were many of the examples from the middle ages and renaissance. I am still in awe that we have surviving nets from these time periods for people to study! Some of my favorites are visible on the Museum of London's collections website. in the 1540s and 1550s Eleonra di Toldedo, the duchess of Tuscany is often depicted in paintings, carvings, and other media with her hair parted down the middle and arranged into a gold scuffia, which we would today call a snood or hairnet. My goal today is to make a similar scuffia for my own dresses from this period. They are a very versatile accessory which allows the wearer to keep their hair contained, follow the letter of the laws about being modest and covering your hair, and subtlety display your wealth. While Elenora's scuffia were made of gold, the accessory was popular across several social classes. Working class women also wore these nets out of a more simple silk net. The portrait of Elenora di Toledo is by Bronzino and currently is in the National Gallery in Prague. Portrait is in public domain. To make this net you will need: -A Netting shuttle or needle (I purchased mine at a fiber event for reenactors, but you can source many similar and beautiful shuttles from your local fiber arts store or on Etsy. ) -Practice yarn or thread -Final Product Thread -2/3 YD of Metallic Trim (roughly 1/2 inch wide) -Stick or dowel to set your netting size -Embroidery frame -Needle, thread, scissors For more historical information on the construction of these nets and their places in Medieval and Renaissance society you can check out these resources: Moda a Fireneze 1540-1580 by Toberta Orsi Landini and Bruna Niccoli.
