Networking 101! My net cap mockup is done. It has some minor issues but I think I can fix them without making another mockup. Now I'm moving on to making a black net cap that's going to be the base for a 15th century reticulated headdress full of bling.

Netting lace is really fiddly work but I think I'm getting the hang of it. . . #netting #nettinglace #hairnet #medieval #mockup #historicalfashion #medievalfashion #historicalcostume #fashionhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CAkmA3zJUl1/?igshid=vukfkvj9xxw3

I've seen some extant examples of medieval net caps with what looks like chain stitch embroidery, so I tried to do that. It's possible! But I've never been very good at embroidery, and doing it in a near absence of fabric is not easy. There's the occasional cussing and stabbing of fingers. . . #netting #nettinglace #hairnet #medieval #medievalheaddress #caul #crispine #reticulatedheaddress #fashionhistory #embroidery #historicalcostume #historicalfashion https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYkmO1ptDc/?igshid=1a1pwdim0lu3u

The shape and size are not right for a hairnet, but I'm starting to feel like I sort of know what I am doing. Sort of. I'm trying something a bit more square now. #netting #nettinglace #hairnet #mockup #medieval #medievalfashion #caul #historicalfashion #handmade #cat #cute https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqLI81p6Ea/?igshid=1m9peoychwxf5
