[jwtopp at peoplepc.com]

I know what she may be thinking of the chain mail hair nets that are sold at
ren faires, they are sold online too
Or a fancy hair net I could work one up for her if she wants?

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,
Gregor Mac Beathain
