Accessories

The Elizabethans like to add things to their hair to make it look more interesting. This was popular throughout all women of different economical statuses. Ofcourse the wealthier of women would spend more on their accessories but the poorer women would like to add something either for a stylish factor or for a more practical one. Here are a few examples of what could be added to a simple bun or plait;

Caul; it's a hairnet that you can add attachments too
