I need your help

[frualeydis]

Girls (and Teddy), I need your help. If you look closely at the portrait of an unknown lady by Anthonis Mor you see that she's not wearing a two piece headdress (what Drea Leed calls a "flemish hood", with a cap and a wired veil, like this woman does, but a three piece head dress. First it's the cap, then it's the white fabric hanging in the back, like the veil of a french hood and then on top of that there's a much sheerer veil that can be seen lying on top of the hanging veil.
(On this picture you see the cap with only the short veil.)

So what is the hanging white fabric and how is it fastened to the cap? Suggestions?

Eva, I'm not sure these will help, but if they can give you some kind of clue then great!

ps you can ignore the silly names on the files, I just have to name them differently so the names get ridiculous.
