Pattern for a Tudor lady's bonnet and frontlet, the items nowadays referred to as gable, kennel, pediment or English hoods. This style of headdress was highly fashionable in the court of Henry VIII during the 1520s and 1530s, though it continued to be worn till 1560 and to the end of the century by older ladies. Ideal for Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, or other early 16th century impressions. With full instructions for choosing materials, sizing and construction - perfect for reenactors.

Highly researched and based on documentary descriptions, extant examples and paintings.

One size.

We recommend paste buckram for making the foundation for this headdress and brushed cotton ('domette') for covering it.
