Making a Historically Accurate Maleficent Cosplay II- the Hennin

It's time to take on Maleficents headwear! I've chosen to go with the very distinct double hennin as my historical comparison to her horns. The designers for Sleeping Beauty clearly spent a great deal of time looking at imagery from the 14th and 15th centuries for inspiration, and Maleficents horns are no exception! The shape and style of her entire ensemble closely resembles the fashions of the early 15th c. While there were other large headdresses from that era available as well, the double hennin mirrors the horn shape so well, it just felt like the right choice.

For this week, I'm not only making the double hennin, but a veil to match as well. So, let's take a look at some of the imagery of the era, do some research, and start to develop a better understanding of what may have been going on up there! What were they made out of? How were they decorated? And how did they stay on? It's not like we have books on millinery from the 15th c just littered about!

This project was inspired by some of my wonderful friends that are also doing their own spin on historically accurate Disney! Some have already started their series, others have yet to announce their character, so keep an eye out on these channels for more videos soon! And if you too are inspired to create (or dress up in) your own historically accurate Disney character, I would LOVE to see it. Let's have fun, be inspired, and learn something new!
