[Ansteorra] OT - lady's head covering help

[Thora Olafsdottir]

In looking for nice scarves I have found a couple of sites that might interest your friend.  One is Tznius.com. It is a site that caters primarily to women interested in "modest dress" but they have a lot of scarves and a section on different ways to tie them to look pretty.   I was surprised at all the different ways to tie a scarf.  They also carry snoods and hats. Another site is The Hijab Shop.  It caters to Islamic women. 

I have not yet ordered from either of these sites but I thought she might be interested.

Subject: [Ansteorra] OT - lady's head covering help

I'm reaching out to our wider community because a friend has asked for
help in an area that is simply outside of my general fund of
knowledge.

Neither he nor his wife play, but he specifically asked me (and
another friend) because we're "plugged in" to the SCA community, and
he believes the know-how he seeks might be available to our friends
who do play.

His wife has just been diagnosed with cancer, and she will soon be
losing all of her hair.  He would like to provide her with a head
covering: "a pretty semi-medieval headdress, so she wouldn't have to
depend on hats & scarves . . . something a little out of the ordinary,
attractive, easy-to-wear and inexpensive.  (I don't want much, do I?
;-)  )  A cut above bandannas and 'do rags.  Something to boost her
morale to offset losing her hair due to the chemo."

I suggested a lady's guimple in some kind of pretty cloth or an
Israeli Tichel, but that's about as far as my knowledge on the subject
goes.

Can anyone help with pointers or URL to other suggestions I can make to him?

Thanks in advance,
