Create a beautiful escoffion, a cap worn by women in the Renaissance inspired by Landsknechte costume style.
The caps will be made from metallic wired edge ribbon woven and edged with trim, anddecorated with pearls or beads. They will be formed over a head block wig form or padded styrofoam head. This type of a head covering is not limited to the Renaissance period. It would make a perfect headdress for a Fancy Dress costumes or worn with Renaissance-inspired Artistic Reform Era tea gowns. The “House of Worth” designed many such Fancy Dress costumes that would look fantastic with this cap.
