Dress Historian Recreates Margaret Tudor's French Hoods

The famous Tudor era French Hood is frequently misunderstood and a challenge for new and experienced costumers alike. Thankfully, we have the amazing, knowledgeable dress historian and historical costume maker Perin from Isabel Northwode Costumes to teach us all about them!


Join us for this special edition as she teaches us how these wonderful and mysterious garments developed from earlier medieval hoods, how they could have been made, and why they're a much easier costuming project than you might have thought - all by looking at new and exciting historical resources from Renaissance Scotland!


Dig out your silk velvet and your finest linen (or a tea towel) and get ready!
