Simple sewing tutorial: The Northern Coif, a historical European style of woman's headcovering to be worn alone or under a bonnet. Tutorial by missa on www.sempstress.org, 22 August 2009. Though this millinery is appropriate for wear for some reenactments ranging from 1500s-1800s, I believe it nearly matches the headwear worn by female kitchen staff in late-Victorian to 1920s era BBC dramas, including "Downton Abbey" and "The Duchess of Duke Street." #hat #muslin #linen #bonnet #cap #maid...
