Plantagenet (1154-1399): Wimple, Barbette, Fillet and Crespine
Barbette- supposedly introduced by Eleanor of Aquitaine, was a band of linen encircling the face and pinned into place. At first it was only worn by royal ladies with a circlet or coronet (Fig 11) but was eventually adopted by all classes
Wimple- appeared by 1190, a length of fine linen or silk draped underneath the chin, across the throat. The ends were pinned at the crown of the head. During this time period, it always accompanied a veil , and usually a circlet. (Fig 12).
Fillet- a stiffened band of linken or silk worn around the head, over the barbette. Sometimes worn under a crown, with the tips showing. Became narrower over time. Young girls wore the fillet and barbette with flowing hair (fig 17), but more often the hair was braided ( fig 13) The fillet and barbette became narrower over time in this period.
Crespine- or crespinette, a net or caul usually worn and attached to the barbette and fillet (Fig 15 and 16) Great ladies wore crespines of silk and jewels.
金雀花王朝时期,女人们会带一种叫做Barbette的东西,也就是将一条亚麻布绕着脸并用针固定好。起初,只有带皇冠的贵族女人们带,但最终,许多人也开始使用了。除此之外,她们还带别的物品,与此配合使用。
