We Elizabethan women wear our hair long, although we always pin it up. It's customary to wear at least a simple cap known as a coif, which is typically linen and sometimes embroidered. On top of a coif, women wear a variety of head adornments. 1st is the forehead cloth, a triangular piece of linen that ties. Another is the French hood, a fabric bonnet shaped with wires.
Women also wear flat caps.
Last, but not least, we have purses and belts. The belt is know as a girdle. A girdle is a place to hang personal possessions on, not to hod up a garment. We ladies have chain girdles or girdles made of fine fabric. Girdles often hold purses.
