The French hood is an iconic part of Tudor fashion, and has become synonymous with the most infamous of Henry VII's wives, Anne Boleyn. But I think we've taken for granted all these years how it might be constructed. After staring at hundreds of images, searching primary sources, and reading the current scholarship, I support the theory that French hoods are made up of a cap with a pleated gold frill and a black hood that is folded back to reveal the lining, creating the "crescent" shape that we often see in portraits.
Now, this is all just experimentation and I am in no way saying this is the only way French hoods were made, but I do think it is an incredibly compelling theory, I encourage you to try your own experiments and see what you discover!
